I'm really glad I signed up my daughter for these soccer lessons. Each week, she engages in a…read more40-min session, where she gets to interact with others kids, and learn developmental skills appropriate for her age group. They learn things like stop, go, wait your turn, and following direction. They learn how to work in a group, and also to work independently, or with partners. They learn to run, kick the ball, but do other things like kick the cones, run around the cones, etc. The activities from week to week change, nothing's really ever the same. She's not learning soccer moves or how to play soccer, per se, but rather just developmental things that are fun and important for kids and their learning. The classes are setup by age level. I will say that my daughter is one of the younger ones in the class, and I do find it harder for her to follow direction compared to the other older kids.
There are no makeup classes which is the only bummer, except when it gets rained out. Oh well. I love the little soccer shirt they provide on the first day of class with their name on it, and you can also upgrade to get soccer shorts and socks (so cute) for an extra $20. The locations are spread out across the city, but I love that the one I go to is within 5-6 min drive of me, and the parking at Golden Gate Park is very plentiful at Mother's Meadow each week I go!
The coaches, Brian and Jesse, are wonderful, so passionate. They're so amazing with all of the kids, they're very patient, kind, and also help with redirection. They're very enthusiastic, and have lots of energy. What else could you want from a soccer coach?! They also can remember your child's name from week to week, they have great memory!
I would highly recommend SF Tots to your child to get them out of the house and learn new things with this fun and engaging soccer class.
