MINI CREW
Where the journey begins. Every soccer journey has a beginning and this is it.
Mini Crew Program
Their First Soccer Experience
Should Be a Great One
Mini Crew introduces toddlers and preschoolers to soccer through play, movement and age-appropriate activities. Players begin developing balance, coordination and body control while becoming comfortable with a soccer ball at their feet.
Just as importantly, they begin learning how to participate in a group — listening, communicating, taking turns, solving simple problems and gaining confidence away from Mom and Dad.
No pressure. No competition.
Just play, movement and discovery.
What Mini Crew Develops
Six ways every session builds them up
Movement
Running, jumping, stopping, changing direction, balance and coordination.
The Ball
Early exposure to dribbling, kicking, stopping and manipulating a soccer ball.
Confidence
An environment where children feel comfortable trying something new and discovering what they can do.
Independence
Learning to participate without a parent directly beside them, and becoming comfortable with coaches and other kids.
Social Development
Sharing, communicating, taking turns, following simple directions and playing alongside others.
A Love for Playing
Above everything, we want children leaving Mini Crew excited to come back — or graduate to Junior Crew.

Step 3Steamer's Crew
There's no race to get there. Children develop at different speeds — some players join Mini Crew more than once before their next step, and that's perfectly okay. We don't rush development. We build it.
