⚽️Indoor Tot Soccer has been designed to introduce children to the game of soccer in a non-competitive environment through repetition and teamwork in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. We start with
- 20 minutes of drills and foot skills.
- Students learn how to line up on the gym floor, where in and out of bounds is and we play actual soccer games.
- Age appropriate safety equipment is used and basic ground rules are set for the children and parents so that everyone enjoys their time while participating.
You do NOT need to be a resident of Avon Lake to participate.
Additional intellectual and social skills/tools to be developed:
- Listening
- Following Directions
- Forming Lines
- Taking Turns
- Confidence and Self Esteem Building
Classes are designed for ages 3-5, run for 60 minutes each week, for five (5) weeks per session, and class size is limited to 20 to ensure each child's individual attention.
Each child should come with:
- tennis shoes
- soft athletic shorts
- t-shirt
- water bottle
- shin guards should be worn during class (recommended)
In unexpected instances where there are less than 10 tots enrolled in a time slot, classes may be combined. Parents will be contacted and notified at the close of Open Enrollment if this issue arises.

Coaches Responsibilities:
Those parents who can volunteer and help coach, Thank You. Coaches will work along side my staff. During Basketball Stations you will assist in moving your team from station to station and assist your team at each drill station.
My staff and I always coach on the field when we practice/play. So during this time things maybe slowed down a bit, but we want to start coaching your child on the spot. One field maybe done before the other is completed. If it’s possible please stay until everyone is finished
**Homework assigned – The children will receive a hand stamp, than be asked to go to their parents, grandparents etc. after “Huddle Time” and give them a HUG, KISS and say THANK YOU for bringing them. If they forget, please send them back to see a coach.
Social Media:
I am a big social media person, so if you are on Instagram or Facebook please friend me. If you’re on Facebook, go to Preschool Sports and like the page. Why you ask, this will be the just one way of finding out about upcoming programs or class cancelations due to unforeseen weather.
As all of you are taking such great pictures and videos with your cameras/phones, if you would be willing to share them by tagging me (Craig Collins) or post them to the Preschool Sports FB page. OR if you could hash tag "#Preschoolsports” I would appreciate it. Thanks for sharing!
