TIGER PAWS

The Tiger Paws introduces 3 and 4 year olds to the game of soccer in a fun and safe environment. This program has been thoughtfully designed for preschool-aged kids so that they can work on a variety of different skill-sets that will ultimately make them well-rounded, confidant and socialized young people.

  • Water bottle with name on it

UNIFORM

  • A uniform will be provided (jersey) to each child on the first day of practice.  Please make sure you provide your own socks

ARRIVAL

  • Arrive early on Day 1 so that you are able to find the correct field, meet the coaches, get your child in uniform and use the bathroom if needed

PARENTS

  • We encourage all parents to participate with an easy-going, helpful and FUN attitude.  Yelling, screaming and demanding is frowned upon.

  • Expect your child to need a little warming-up to this new environment, coaches and players.

  • Please don’t get worried or frustrated if your child wants you near them the whole time, or won’t step on the field, or hates wearing shin guards, or only likes to pick flowers, or needs to go to the bathroom 3 times, or tells you snack time is their favorite part of soccer – you will not be alone!! We are working with very young children and we know between the ages of 2-4 anything could happen on the day. We totally expect it and you should not worry about it. It is very normal. 

EMAIL

  • 90% of the communication for this program will come directly from the PAWS Director.  You will receive weekly emails that will include important information for that week.

SNACKS

  • Each week we will end our training with a snack & drink

  • Snacks should be healthy (granola bar, fresh fruit, crackers, etc.)

  • Drinks should be low sugar juices

  • Parents who have a child with an allergy are encouraged to bring your own snack.
