kinder Kickers / Academy

Liederkranz Soccer offers an extensive in-house children’s soccer program, spanning ages 3 to 8. 

Kinder Kickers is offered for all players, ages 3-5, in the spring and fall seasons. This is a great opportunity for your child to join the longest standing soccer club in the area. 

Kinder Academy is offered for all players, ages 6-8, in the spring and fall seasons, and will continue to build on the skills learned with Kickers. Academy players also participate in the Club’s Adam Schuster Memorial Tournament in October. We focus on foot skills and basic game play, incorporating in-house competition. The Kinder soccer program focuses on the fundamentals of soccer so your player can learn the basics they need to grow and excel in the sport.

Fees: There is no charge for the children or grandchildren of current members to participate in the Kinder program. For non-members the only cost is to become a member. Membership is only $35.00/year plus fees for online payment. With your membership you will have access to the club room and all member activities
