Lil’ Kickers Weekly Updates

There are 4 weeks left of our fall season and we have a deal!

For any players who are lovin’ their class and want more, we are offering a 2nd class for $36! That’s half off what it would normally be for 4 classes right now. This is for current FALL-ENROLLED customers only. You can only register for a 2nd class that is not full. See a list of classes here – Fall Class Schedule.

When you choose a class, shoot us an email and we can enroll you for the remaining 4 weeks. It’s that simple!

It’s week 6! 4 more weeks left of our Fall Season. Here’s what’s to know…

COTTONTAILS/JACKRABBITS/BIG FEET Last week and this week coaches will start running 10-minute scrimmages in all Jackrabbits and Big Feet classes. These classes have been progressing all season to get to this point! Be proud of your kids! They have worked hard and coaches will continue to work with them on the basic concepts of the game. In Cottontails, coaches have or will start to transition parents to the side, or completely off, the field. Please remember, this is a process, and can take time! It may not work for you the first, second, third week – or even this season at all! If you have to jump back on the field to help your player, please do so! Every kid develops in different stages and coaches will be flexible with their child development.

WINTER 1 REGISTRATION Registration for W1 opened this Saturday, 9/14! The season ends on December 21st. It will be a 10-week season, except for Thursday classes who will have 9 classes due to Thanksgiving. Things will be a little different this upcoming season, so please read carefully!

– Classes will go up to $18/class. That will make it $180 for a 10-wk season and $162 for Thursday classes – a 9-wk season.

– Sibling discounts will no longer be 1 class off for each sibling. It will now be $30 off the second sibling, $30 off the third, etc.

– Annual Memberships will be $25 each player. There will no longer be a $50 family membership.

– Kids who take more than 1 class a week used to get a $17 discount for that 2nd class. Now, you will get 50% off the 2nd class!

* We highly recommend you register early to reserve your class time and/or coach! We had several kids who waited too late and did not get the class/coach they really wanted this season.

FALL BREAK CAMP Our next camp is fast approaching. We will have a camp on October 17, 18, and 21. 9am – 4pm is full day, and 9am-12pm is AM camp, 1pm-4pm is PM camp. Prices and registration can be found on our website. For this camp, we are not making players register for all 3 days. You can register for 1 half day if you want to! Again, see the entire breakdown on our website. These camps have gotten so popular in the past year they do tend to sell out, so don’t wait!

HIRING AM COACHES Lil Kickers is looking for coaches for our AM classes! We have classes Monday – Saturday 9:30 am to 12:30 am, and availability is flexible. If you or someone you know is interested, contact Coach Ty at ty@soccercityokcity.com.

MAKEUP CLASSES Remember, if you missed a class you can make it up! It just has to be made up within the current season. The Fall schedule is on our website to view class times.

HOUSE TEAMS Our FALL house team league starts this week! U14 GIRLS FULL, U14 BOYS FULL. U10 GIRLS CLOSED, U8 GIRLS CLOSED, MENS SUNDAY HTs FULL, COED ADULT HT FULL. All other divisions are close to being full, so if you were wanting to register, call to pay or pay in person ASAP! It’s an 8-wk season, $80. U6 and up. (My Men’s O25 Friday HT does actually need players!!) Questions? Email houseteams@soccercityokcity.com.

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday! We are already in week 4 of our LK season! We hope everyone enjoyed bringing in their friends last week for Bring a Friend Week. If you have a friend who could not make it last week, feel free to bring them to a class any time! Friends can always come to 1 free class, as long as they sign a waiver at the front desk and only come the one time.

MAKE-UP CLASSES Did you miss a class and need to make it up? No problem! Let us know via email/phone/in person and we can help. You can also look to the website to see what classes are availble and when, then simply show up and let us know you are making up a class that day. Make-up classes cannot be made up in a class that is full. And make-up classes must be made within the current season.

HOUSE TEAMS If your player wants to join a TEAM, we have indoor house teams at Soccer City and the new Fall season starts next week! It’s $80 to play and gets you 8 games and a team t-shirt. Our top LK coaches coach the teams. We have teams for U6 all the way up. More information can be found on our website. Online registration is now closed, but you can still call to pay or pay in person! *If you have your own youth or adult team, the registration deadline was yesterday. However, if there is still space we will still take teams by phone or in person.

A few things to know about this upcoming week 3 of Lil Kicker’s Fall season!

– BRING A FRIEND WEEK! – Last week your player should have received a Bring a Friend card at the end of their class from their coach. If they did not, no worries! They can still bring a friend this week if they have one. There are a few things to know about BAF week.

1) Friends trying out a class need to stop by the desk first and sign a waiver!

2) Classes that are full are closed to BAF. These are classes with 12 or more. However, if you have a friend you’re more than welcome to bring them to a class that is not full for this week.

3) And something I forgot to mention last week, but that’s really important! Make sure the friend is age appropriate for that class. For example, do not bring a 9 year old to a Thumpers class (2 yo). You can, however, have that 9 yo come to a micro 8/9 class this week for free.

(And a little secret…if your friend cannot make it this week, they can still come on a later week in the season!)

If you have any questions about this don’t hesitate to ask!

– NO CLASSES ON 9/30, 9/31 & 9/2 – We will not have any LK classes on these days! If your player is in one of these classes you were charged 1 less class than a T/W/R class, so there is no need to schedule a make-up!

– HANDICAP / STROLLER ENTRANCE: It has come to my attention that maybe some customers are using the Stroller Parking when they do not have strollers. Or maybe some cars have the Handicap sign on their car but are parking in the Stroller parking. Just please make sure you are only parking in the Stroller Parking if you have a stroller, and same with the Handicap parking. We have numerous families that attend classes with multiple kids, and I’m sure it’s frusterating when that parking is taken by those abusing it. So please be conscientious of that.

We made it to week 2! I’m more congratulating myself and Ty for getting through our first week running the program, lol! But I also thank you, our customers, for your patience and understanding. We may have been later than we would have liked on returning a few emails/calls due to the transition, but we will always do our best to reply within 24 hours.

– BRING A FRIEND: This week coaches will be handing out Bring a Friend cards to all the kids at the end of each class. NEXT WEEK – week 3 – we will have “Bring a Friend” week where the kids are allowed to bring a friend to class. You can use these cards to hand to your friends. Simply fill it out and give it to a friend, and they will have all the information. Some classes during the week are full. If your player is in one of those classes and you have a friend to bring, you will need to come to a different class that week – one that is not full. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need some class time options!

– Shin Guards: Don’t forget! If your player is in a Jackrabbits, Big Feet or any of the Micro classes the will need to wear shin guards. All other classes it is no required, but they can if they want to.

– 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.

Lil Kickers Fall season at SoccerCity OKC BEGINS THIS WEEK! 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 9 weeks getting to know!

Returning customers should have received an email from our previous LK Director, Hayden. He did an amazing job directing and growing this program the last decade, but has moved on to try something new. We will miss him and wish him the best! Coach Ty and I will be taking over for him. Many of you know Coach Ty. Maybe he coached one of your players! He has been a LK Coach for over 12 years and knows the program well. I have coached for 8 years and have run our House Teams program for most of that time. We are excited to lead this program together and know we have big shoes to fill!

Each week I send basic information via email on Monday 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.
