The Start Smart program is for 3-4 year olds (participants must be 3 by the first session). Start Smart Soccer sessions are held 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. every Wednesday, May 10 – June 14, at the JDHS turf field. Children work with an adult in their lives in a supportive environment to learn the basic skills of soccer: kicking, dribbling, trapping, and agility. Adults are active participants in the program.
