Classes & camps offered in Powell, Ohio
The programs you'll find at Locker Soccer span a broad range of ages and abilities. Many of the children that are in our program have been with us since age two, others start in elementary or middle school. Session after session, year after year, parents watch with amazment as their children not only evolve their abilities on the soccer field, but watch them grow more confident in general. We attribute this growth to having a very experienced staff and an approach to learning that starts with making sure kids have fun as they continue to succeed. In the end, participation is key, be it in soccer or anything else in life. If your child doesn't enjoy it, he or she won't take part. Our 8 core child development principles are the foundation to every class we offer; social skills, confidence, self-esteem, agility & coordination, fitness, risk-taking, overcoming fear of failure, and vision — spacial awareness.

Little Kickers (ages 2-6)Each Session: Focus: Our Child Development experts have designed our programs to offer age-specific soccer activities for children in their respective age groups. Children will be introduced to a wide variety of soccer activities that will insure their comfort with a ball; various speed, fitness, and agility activities to progress their motor skill development; and the team environment helps to foster a keen sense of social awareness. Kids learn to "separate" from their parents, making the transition to preschool much easier. Children coming out of this program have transitioned very easily into their local recreational soccer leagues!

Summer Camp (Ages 3 and Up)Each Session: 90 minutes - 3 hours Focus: Players are grouped according to age and ability so beginners can gain confidence while learning the fundamentals of soccer and the more experienced players can enhance their skills and tactical awareness. More importantly, our camps are designed for the campers to have fun. The player's enjoyment is our number one priority. This year, we are offering both morning and evening camp options, as well as an intense and exciting Three Week Bootcamp for campers age 8+.

Skill Development (ages 6-14)Each Session: 45 minutes Focus: Skill development classes are designed to meet the needs of the more serious, committed player. We will focus very heavily on individual skills, small group tactics, and speed of play. This is not a class for beginners. Players will be grouped in one of the following four age groups: 6 year olds, 7 & 8, 9 & 10, and 11-14. Boys and girls will be separated for this program. Skill Development provides a fun, competitive environment that will facilitate the development of ball skills and the growth in confidence in real game situations.

Soccer Stars (ages 6-8)Each Session: 45 minutes Focus: This class offers the recreational player, or first time player, the opportunity to gain some confidence in a setting that is stress free. Boys and girls play together while learning valuable ball skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, heading, and receiving. This is also a very popular class for those children who love soccer, but don't wish to play in their local leagues. Our focus is helping children to have fun, while gaining confidence and skill to enter into their local recreational leagues. Skill development is stressed with minimal pressure from competitive games.

3 v 3 (ages 6-14)Each Session: 60 minutes Focus: Our 3v3 program is designed to allow each individual player as many touches and decisions as possible in a non competitive environment. This is accomplished by creating an environment where wins and losses are not emphasized, and coaches and parents are not actively providing directions by yelling to the players. It's about the games belonging to the players and having fun. Please contact the Academy for a current schedule, 760-5522.

Special Needs (All Ages)Each Session: 40 minutes Focus: The Locker Soccer Special Needs program is an opportunity for children to develop social skills, coordination, confidence and self-esteem, through the game of soccer. Our classes are designed to introduce the game of soccer to special needs children of all ages, while addressing the many stages of child development. Parents, siblings, and caretakers are always welcome to participate in our special needs classes. Our Special Needs classes cater to a wide variety of disabilities. Some of our high functioning special needs children can be integrated into our regular classes. We place each child in a class based on their need, ability to succeed, and as always to make sure they are having FUN!
