Soccer Vision Kids is a component of Soccer Vision Academy. It is a franchised
program that focuses on the development of children between the ages of 2 to
12 years old. A variety of fun games and various skill based soccer activities
are used to engage the kids. Numerous small-sided soccer games are also incorporated.
The curriculum affords the kids an opportunity to be exposed to motor skills
development, nutritional tips, increase self-confidence and their overall physical
fitness. The soccer skills of the older kids will also be developed in a reduced
competitive environment since there will be an emphasis on their overall individual
development.
