Denver Youth Soccer Programs

Grasshoppers and Munchkins Program

The Grasshopper (2.5 – 3 years old) and Munchkin (4 – 5 years old) programs are specifically designed for the beginner player. Emphasis is placed on introducing players to the very basics of soccer in a high-energy, fun environment through interactive and imaginary games. Each program is six weeks long and the program you sign up for is where you will meet once a week – at the same time, on the same day, and at the same park. The cost of each six week session is $75, and includes a team t-shirt. The only additional equipment your player will need is shinguards; soccer cleats are optional but not required, and balls are provided for use at the field. Our Grasshopper and Munchkin programs are offered in the spring, summer, and fall. Winter programming coming soon.

Our Recreational program for 6U-7U age groups is designed to provide fun and development without the emphasis on travel or high-level competition. All teams are coached by volunteer parents and play in-house against other Skyline teams. At this age, teams typically practice one time a week at a convenient field location near you for 60 minutes. Practice days and times will vary from team to team based on the choice of the volunteer coach.  All games for this age group are played at the same location (depending on available DPR Parks) on Saturdays and one Sunday.
