"my daughter looks forward to going to soccer every week"
"My daughter has been in Kiddie Kicks for two seasons now, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Coach Shanks and the VCYS organization. Learning the early fundamentals while having fun is key at such a young age. Coach Shanks does the best job incorporating this and encouraging the children as well. Most importantly, my daughter looks forward to going to soccer every week and is thriving at a sport she now loves. I owe this to Kiddie Kicks!”
