Soccer for a 3 (almost 4) year-old in the Falls Church/Vienna area?

[Anonymous]

I'd really like to sign our daughter up for soccer this fall but have no idea who (if anyone) offers it for that age group. Any suggestions?

That's on the young side for an actual team with actual games, FYI - kids at that age will tend to get distracted really easily. And it can be hard to get field space with all the other teams in the area.

You might want to look for soccer classes through the county; that's what we did at that age. They did a good job preparing our daughter for the real thing in kindergarten. We took the classes through Parktakes and had pretty good experiences. They're typically offered at most of the rec centers, so you can narrow down the closest few centers and then find a time that works.

New PP here bumping the topic. Any other suggestions for 3 year olds in Falls Church/McLean? Is Kids Pro Soccer any good?

I think Blue Box Sports has soccer classes for that age in Falls Church. Our daughter took a few of the Blue Box Sports DC classes when she was even younger than that and enjoyed them. I thought they were pretty good at building soccer skills with very age appropriate activities.

We have been taking classse with them at Chesterbrook elementary and at stenwood elementary for a couple of times and my children still remember the dribbling and drills. They make it fun but they fill up quickly, specially in the winter indoor.
