Introduce your child to the wonderful world of sports. There are tremendous benefits when introducing children to sports from the toddler level. “Some benefits include helping build confidence, improving social and listening skills and promoting fitness from a young age” stated Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci.
Peanut Soccer is an enjoyable non-competitive program designed to help the youngest of soccer players begin to develop basic soccer skills by participating in fun-filled, soccer oriented children’s games and basic physical education.
