Wiggles & Giggles

This popular parent/tot class is where imagination and soccer play collide! Our goal is to continue to build core movements such as balance, coordination, hopping, jumping, and running. While parent involvement is part of this program, the class helps bridge the gap between parallel play and sharing. This period in a child's development is extremely important and engaging the body and mind with physical activity has been proved to aid in accomplishing growth milestones. Every participant will get a medal and their own soccer ball.
