**Fireflies Program Overview**
Fireflies: (18months-3 years) - Parent & Child Classes
(If your child is 3 ½ we recommend signing up with the U4's)
In 2005 ASC established the Fireflies classes to introduce toddlers to soccer with games that allow them to run, play as a group, and learn basic soccer skills. While building on fundamentals such as balance and coordination they practice basic soccer skills. Classes incorporate activities that are geared toward a toddler's unique way of learning and include tall cones, chasing bubbles, running an obstacle course, lots of goal scoring and more.
Parents and kids, led by our instructors, play organized games together to develop listening skills, balance, ball skills and foot-eye coordination

Tennis shoes are acceptable but if you can find soccer shoes (cleats) in your child's size they do provide better traction.
The Little Rock program is indoors so we recommend tennis shoes.
