Community Kicks U4-U7
The Community Kicks program is KLM’s exciting new Spring program beginning in April 2018. This is part of our ongoing commitment to provide accessible soccer programming for children in the community. This program is available for all U4, U5, U6 and U7 players. Our program follows Canada Soccer’s Long- Term Player Development Plan. This ensures that players receive proper age appropriate training that corresponds to children’s stages of development. The following link will give you more information on the stages of player development: Player Development Community Guide
Our $20 introductory registration rates for families living in and around the central Vancouver area will assist in removing cost as a barrier to participation. KLM continuously strives to offer value, keep fees modest and include all irrespective of ability to pay. Every child will receive a free t-shirt. Space is limited so register today. We are all excited to see you on the field.
