Developmental Soccer League
Join All Star Sports Instruction for our spring development
soccer league. Our goal is to create a fun, safe, learning
environment that enables kids to experience soccer whether
they have played before or are just beginning. The successes
of each team and player in this league are not based on the
score or team records, but how the players grasp the concept
of the game and understand the importance of teamwork and
sportsmanship. We will deliver a curriculum to our players
according to their skill level to help build a foundation for a
great career in soccer. Each game will be preceded by a twenty
minute skill training session so the player can apply the learned
skill in that game. All players will receive a participation
award and team jersey.
Each player must bring their own soccer cleats, shin
guards, and soccer ball (size 4) to all classes.

Sports Spectacular
This unit is a great way to get “sporty” kids building and get
LEGO® fans interested in sports. Some lessons focus on the
importance of physical fitness and different aspects of fitness,
such as stamina and strength. But the best part for the students
is the way the models move and the fun they have playing
with them after they’re built - hitting a plastic golf ball with
the mini-golf model, watching the gymnast spin around the
bar and seeing the tiny airplanes spin around and around on
the air show model.

processing.
