Little Herd Soccer

 

Little Herd Soccer is The GOAT Farm Soccer Academy’s early childhood program designed to introduce young players to the game in a fun, safe, and developmentally appropriate environment.

This program focuses on building confidence, coordination, and a love for movement, laying the foundation for future soccer and athletic development.

Little Herd Soccer is designed for children ages 18 months to 6 years, regardless of prior soccer experience.

This program is ideal for:

  • First-time soccer players

  • Toddlers and young children learning to move and follow instruction

No tryouts. No pressure. Just fun and learning.

Our Philosophy

 

At this age, development comes first.

Little Herd Soccer follows a play-based, movement-focused approach that helps young players learn through exploration, repetition, and guided activities.

Our goal is to:

  • Build confidence on and off the ball

  • Develop coordination and balance

  • Encourage listening, teamwork, and effort

  • Create a joyful first soccer experience

• Listening and following simple instructions
• Social skills through group activities and games

All activities are age-appropriate and designed to keep players engaged and smiling.

Training Environment
