Last chance for pictures tomorrow, Saturday, 7/20 from 9:30am – 12:30pm
This is for anybody who missed Picture Week last week, or needs reshoots
Anybody current Lil Kicker can come tomorrow to get their pictures taken, not just Saturday goers
Hopefully everyone takes advantage of this!
Tomorrow is a big day for multiple reasons. Here’s what to know:
– PICTURE DAY: Tomorrow picture day for Saturday classes. Make sure you show up early enough to get those done before your class starts. If you are in the 9:30am or 10:30am classes I would suggest NOT doing them after class because you’ll be creating a longer line with the parents that are showing up for those hours. 11:30am customers can also plan to stay after class as the photographers should be here as long as there is someone wanting to take pics.
– REGISTRATION: Fall registration officially opens next Saturday, 7/20. That being said, I am opening it unofficially for any of you want to sign up and pay in person tomorrow when you’re here for class. Reminder that you get an Early Bird Discount if paying in full prior to 8/3. Again, that is only in person. Registration online and over the phone will open next Saturday 7/20. In person can be done tomorrow during class time (9am-12:30pm).
– CLASSES COMBINING: I merged a few classes. At the beginning of each season we split classes that are big and make two of them in hopes they both grow. Sometimes due to class location, coach, miscalculation of who is going to regularly attend, etc., one class ends up with more than the other. Here are the classes that are now merged:
9:30am Jackrabbits Field 4P with Coach Maddie has been merged with 9:30am Jackrabbits Field 2G with Coach Rainey (will be on Field 2G the rest of the season)
10:30am Jackrabbits Field 1B with Coach Ellen has been merged with 10:30am Jackrabbits Field 2G with Coach Rainey (will be on Field 2G the rest of the season)
10:30am Micro 4/5 Field 4P with Coach Maddie has been merged with 10:30am Micro 4/5 Field 2F with Coach JP (will be on Field 2F the rest of the season)
Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. This week is PICTURE WEEK! Here are the details:
– FREE TO TAKE: Professional photographers will have a backdrop set up before and after classes ***to the bottom left of the main stair case, where the arcade games are***. These are free to take, all you need to do is fill out a digital form they’ll have you scan when you arrive. Then they will email you the proofs at a later time, and you can decide if you want to purchase or not!
– ALL WEEK AND NEXT SATURDAY: Photos will be available to be taken all week whenever there are Lil Kickers classes. There will also be a make up day next Saturday, 7/20. You are welcome to come at any time that you see on our online schedule that a class is going on, and the photographers should be there. If you miss your normal time you can still get them taken at another time, including the make up Saturday next week.
That being said… if the photographers don’t see any families wanting photos about 10 minutes after the last class of the day they may start packing up and leaving, so if you’re in a class that is at the end of the morning or evening, PLEASE either get your photos done before class, or hustle over as soon as class ends to get those done.
Saturday customers I would definitely suggest coming 10-15 minutes before class to avoid a giant line forming, if you wait until after class there might also be tons of kids showing up before their class that you may have to wait behind. I would hate for anyone to be late to class because they showed up right before class and decided to try to get pictures taken.
If you have any questions about pictures please let me know and I can help as best as possible!
Reminder NO classes tomorrow, Thursday, July 4th. Thursday customers did NOT pay for that day so you do NOT need to do a make up!
We DO have classes Friday 7/5, and Saturday 7/6. If any Friday or Saturday customers are out of town either of those days, please email me to set up a make up class prior to the season ending, as missed classes do not rollover to future seasons for any reason.
Thanks for reading and have a great Independence Day!
Saturday families:
The first Saturday of the season can be so hectic, especially for brand new customers, that I wanted to give some basic information. One of the things that confuses a lot of people is that we split some of our bigger classes in half and have to different versions of them running at the same time, to free space for more people to join.
Here are some things to know going into tomorrow, as well as the field schedule.
– Be 5-10 minutes early, have your player in fun play clothes, sneakers or cleats, and shin guards (if you’re in Jackrabbits, Big Feet, or a Micro class). Bunnies, Thumpers, Cottontails and Hoppers do not need shin guards. Bring a drink for water breaks, and check in at the front desk to find out what class you’re in and what location, as well as to get a jersey if you are new or have renewed your membership.
– Field 1 is immediately to your right when entering the facility’s main entrance, there will be four sections divided by blue tubes that are labeled 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D. 1A is the closest to the entrance and 1D is the furthest. Field 2 is immediately to the left when entering the facility’s main entrance, again with 3 tubes dividing into four sections, labeled (from closest to furthest) 2F, 2G, 2H, 2I. Field 4 is to the back of the facility and then to the right, those sections are from left to right 4O, 4P, 4Q, and 4R. Again I know this can be confusing, so please stop by the desk and we can make sure you find your class.
Here are the field breakdowns by hour. Classes that have been split in half will have an asterisk next to them.

Lil Kickers Summer season at SoccerCity OKC BEGINS THIS WEEK starting tomorrow! We are so excited to coach your players- whether it be returning familiar faces, or brand new kids we get to meet and spend the next 10 weeks getting to know!
Each week I send basic information via email on Monday or Sunday preparing you on what to know as the season progresses and as different things go on at the facility. For this first email, I am going to lightly touch on basic things to know for your first time in the facility and first week of the season!
– WHERE TO GO: All classes are at our indoor facility SoccerCity OKC in NW OKC on NW 122nd and Meridian, hidden in the neighborhood Summerfield. Our exact address is 4520 Old Farm Road. Once at the facility, you can go down the main stairs to see us at the front desk, where we will get you checked in and give you a jersey if you need one. Call us at 405-748-3888 if you have any issues finding us!
– WHAT TO BRING: Have your player in fun play clothes and sneakers. Bring a drink for water breaks. Kids in Jackrabbits, Big Feet, Micro 4/5, Micro 6/7, Micro 8/9, and Micro Advanced need to have shin guards. Kids in Bunnies, Thumpers, and Cottontails will need a parent on the field- so I would suggest you also wear something comfortable and sneakers if you are the parent on the field for your child. ***I highly suggest being 5-10 minutes early, not only in case of a line at the front desk when checking in, but also to meet your coach and get your player comfortable in the facility before class starts. So many kids start off their season with anxiety because they show up late and see their class full of kids has already started!***
– WEEKDAY MORNING CLASSES: Some weekday morning classes only have 1 child enrolled. For those classes I have sent or will be sending the families an email to see if they can move to another day or time to be with other kids, or combine with a different class level. All morning classes will always be on Field 1.
– WEEKDAY EVENING CLASSES: All evening classes will always be on Field 4, there is an information kiosk by the field that we can help you at.
– SATURDAY MORNING CLASSES: There are so many kids on Saturdays we usually use 3 of our fields at each hour- Field 1, 2, and 4. We also have so many for some classes that we split the classes in half and offer two options with their own coaches of those classes. If we split your level and you find that you are not in the same class as a friend, please let us know and we can move you. I will send Saturday customers a Saturday specific email on Friday breaking down the classes and locations.
– HANDICAP / STROLLER ENTRANCE: Any parents looking to avoid the stairs in our facility, we have one entrance without stairs to the Southwest. The doors are in our Breezeway that connects our buildings together and can be accessed by parking to the westernmost side of our facility and then strolling to the south. There are handicap parking spots on the west side of the building as well. If you need better explanation you can call us or come in person and we can show you.
