Program Overview

The Grashoppers league is the youngest a child can join soccer at Skyline Soccer Association. This league is designed for the very beginner player and kids ages 2 1/2 to 4 are encouraged to join. Must be a least 2 1/2 at the start of the progarm. The concept of this program is to get kids out and get them active. Emphasis is on having fun, learning and meeting friends. We currently have programs in the fall, spring and summer. Especially in the Grasshoppers program, parent involvement is key in developing a fun, lasting relationship with the game of soccer. Parents may be asked to participate in certain drills to facilitate a better experience for all.

The Munchkins league is also considered a beginner course to the game of soccer for 4 to 5 year olds. It is very similar to the Grasshopper league with a little more emphasis on teaching the basics of soccer. Again, the concept of the program is to get kids out and get them active while having fun, learning and meeting friends. We currently have programs in the fall, spring and summer.

All kids need to have shinguards and appropriate shoes (tennis shoes or cleats).

In the spring of 2010, we had over 300 kids involved in these programs. Please register early as spots will fill up quickly.

The Grasshopper and Munchkin Program is mainly held at Veterans Park, on the northwest corner of I-25 and University, but we are adding a second location at Cranmer Park, on the northeast corner of 1st ave and Bellaire St. Both locations have limited spots available.
