MINI CREW

 

Our Mini Crew program is where the journey begins. Every soccer journey has a beginning, and this is it. Designed for young players in the St. Louis area, Mini Crew introduces the game in a fun, encouraging environment where kids can build confidence, learn fundamental skills, and develop a love for soccer. Through age-appropriate activities and positive coaching, players begin learning how to move with the ball, work with teammates, and enjoy the game from their very first touches. It’s the first step in the Steamer’s Crew development pathway and a foundation they can continue building on as they grow.

Your Child's 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 Our Kids Soccer Program 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.

6:1Player-Coach Ratio

Small Players. Small Groups.

Young children need attention, interaction and opportunities to participate. Mini Crew keeps groups small so kids aren't standing in line waiting for a turn — they're moving, exploring and interacting the whole session.

The Crew Pathway

Step 1Mini Crew
Step 2Junior 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 to our Junior Crew program or one of our other youth soccer programs and that's perfectly okay. We don't rush development. We build it.
