Soccer Stars Program (Ages 3–6)

Berkeley Soccer Association’s 8-week Soccer Stars program is designed with two main goals in mind. First, to provide a fun and engaging introduction to soccer for children ages 3 through 6. Second, to teach parents who are new to the sport how to become confident and effective volunteer coaches. It’s easy, fun, and a great way to get involved!

Each Saturday morning, experienced trainers work directly with volunteer parent-coaches, guiding them through the skills and games for the day. Trainers demonstrate how to teach the skill, structure a full practice session, and keep things fun and age-appropriate. Parent-coaches are encouraged to arrive about 10 minutes before start time to learn the day’s activities. Practice sessions are 45 minutes to one hour long depending on age group and include skill development, a scrimmage, and a quick review. Players are grouped by age, and sessions are structured to introduce basic rules and techniques in a positive, encouraging environment.

All players receive a Berkeley Soccer Association T-shirt to wear at each session. Players will also need shin guards (mandatory), athletic shorts, soccer socks, and either soccer cleats or sneakers (cleats are strongly recommended).

If your child was born in 2022, 2021, or 2020, they are eligible to participate in the Soccer Stars program for Fall 2025 and/or Spring 2026. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at correspondingsecretary@berkeleysoccer.com.
