Our sessions are designed by child development experts and soccer coaches alike. So yes, they’ll learn to kick, but also so much more. Learn more about our classes.
Can we join Little Kickers mid-term?
Absolutely! As long as there’s a spot available in your chosen class, your child can jump right in. Just find a class or contact your local franchisee to get started. They’ll make joining easy.
What happens if we miss a Little Kickers class?
We get it: life with little ones is unpredictable! If your child misses a class, just reach out to your local coach. We’ll do our best to offer a makeup session if space allows, but this may vary by location. While we can’t always guarantee a catch-up, we always try to keep things flexible and fair.
We run classes in all sorts of local venues: sports halls, community centres, and even daycares. You can search for your nearest venue by finding a class. Just enter your postal code to see what’s nearby.
Prices vary slightly depending on the location and class format. Your local Little Kickers franchisee sets the fees. We always aim to keep things affordable while providing high-quality soccer coaching and equipment. Just get in touch with your local franchise owner for the most accurate pricing.

Does Little Kickers run during school breaks? What about holidays?
Most Little Kickers classes run all year round, and do not close for school holidays, but it depends on the franchise. For more information, contact your local Little Kickers franchisee. Just enter your postal code into our Find a Class page to find the franchise nearest you.
Booking a Little Kickers Class
How do I book a Little Kickers class?
It’s super easy! Just head to our Find a Class page and enter your postal code to see what’s running near you. Once you find the right class, you can book directly through our website. If you need any help along the way, your local franchise owner is just a message away.
Can I try a class before committing?
Many of our locations offer trial classes (or “taster sessions”). These are a great way to meet the coach and make sure your little one enjoys the class before you commit. Just reach out to your local franchisee to check availability. They’ll be happy to help!
Do I have to rebook every term?
No. Our bookings are on a rolling basis unless stated otherwise. That means once you’re in, your spot is secure each term unless you tell us you’re leaving. We’ll send reminders ahead of any renewals so you’re always in the loop.
We’ll be sad to see you go! To cancel your booking, just get in touch with your local franchisee. They’ll guide you through the process and confirm any notice period or terms specific to your class. We hope your Little Kicker had a blast, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
What to Bring and Wear
Do I need to bring a soccer ball to Little Kickers?
No need! We provide all the equipment, including individual soccer balls for each child during class. That way, everyone gets a chance to practice at their own pace without sharing or waiting. All you need to bring is some comfy clothes, athletic shoes (no cleats please), and a water bottle.
Yes! Once you sign up, your child will receive a Little Kickers kit, which includes a branded shirt and shorts. It’s not required at every session, but the kit helps kids feel like part of the team and builds excitement for each class. Plus, it’s adorable for photo ops.
What does my child need for Little Kickers?
Your child will need three simple things to join the fun:
- Their Little Kickers kit (you’ll receive this when you sign up)
- Indoor athletic shoes (no cleats, sandals or open-toed shoes)
- A water bottle to stay hydrated
That’s it! No fancy gear or equipment required. Just come ready to play, learn, and have a great time. If your child’s soccer kit hasn’t arrived or you have chosen not to use it for the first class please ensure your little one is wearing comfy clothes and shoes.
Badges and Skills
Do children earn badges or awards in Little Kickers?
Yes! Our badge system is a big part of the fun and a great way to celebrate your child’s progress. We award colorful badges at different stages to mark new skills and milestones. Whether it’s mastering a new move or showing teamwork and effort, we love to recognize every child’s achievements.
Choose a class to learn more about badges:
- Little Kicks (18 months to 2½ years)
- Junior Kickers (2½ to 3½ years)
- Mighty Kickers (3½ to 5 years)
- Mega Kickers (5 to 8th birthday)
How does class progression work?
Little Kickers is built to grow with your child, from toddler to school age. Our four class levels are designed around developmental stages, not just age. As your child becomes more confident and skilled, they’ll naturally move up to the next level with more advanced challenges.
Will my child be ready for a soccer team after Little Kickers?
Yes, and so much more! While many of our Kickers go on to join school teams or local clubs, our focus is bigger than just soccer. They’ll leave with coordination, confidence, listening skills, and a love for being active. So whether they become the next soccer star or just stay sporty for life, they’re getting a strong, fun foundation that lasts.
