Fitness Made Fun for Kids

The Kids Gym has many different options, take a look and find the one that best matches your child!

Our classes are helping children achieve their physical and social goals at the same time that they are growing in their own way, at their own pace - and having fun!

To accomplish that, our classes are designed to enhance your child's physical skills, fine and gross motor skills, spatial awareness, coordination, balance, agility, flexibility, and sports preparation. All of this, plus a non-competitive, fun atmosphere.

Sonesoccer's First Touch Program:
Coaches use the Dutch skills philosophy of "total soccer". This model encourages players to develop a wide range of abilities and to make the correct decisions on the field, rather than simply conditioning them to rely on instructions and only understanding how to play one position. Throughout the entire class the emphasis is on fun. This program is the best possible introduction to the game of soccer, allows players to learn individual ball skills and techniques, provides a chance to learn the rules.
