Intro to MiniWolves Program: At the earliest stages, our MiniWolves Introduction Program is designed to ignite a love for physical activity and soccer in toddlers. This program provides a fun and unstructured environment where children ages 0 to 5 can begin exploring physical literacy. Through engaging activities, little athletes get their first touches on the ball, learning the basics of ball mastery, dribbling, and turning with a strong focus on individual skills.

Even our youngest players start learning the technical aspects of dribbling, running with the ball, and ball-striking. The program is crafted to encourage individual actions and promote an early understanding of the game through enjoyable small-sided games.
