What to Expect at Your First Class

We know trying something new can be nerve-wracking for both parents and children. Here's what a typical first HappyFeet class looks like:

👋

Warm Welcome

Coaches greet every child with enthusiasm and make them feel special. The friendly environment helps shy children feel comfortable quickly.

Meet Bob the Bobcat

Each child receives their own soccer ball (we call it Bob!) at the first class. This soccer ball becomes their companion throughout the program.

🎵

Storytime with a Soccer Ball

Classes begin with familiar songs and nursery rhymes transformed into soccer adventures. Kids barely realize they're learning skills because they're having so much fun!

🎮

Imaginative Play

Soccer skills are taught through creative games and storytelling. Bob the Bobcat might go to the zoo, visit space, or explore the jungle - all while dribbling!

👪

Parent Participation (Little Toes)

Two-year-olds have a parent on the field for comfort and bonding. Ages 3+ play independently while parents watch and cheer from the sideline.

🌟

Non-Competitive Environment

No pressure, no scorekeeping, no winners or losers. Every child's effort is celebrated. The focus is on skill development and building confidence.

Don't worry if your child is shy at first! Our experienced coaches are skilled at working with hesitant children. Most kids warm up within the first few classes and can't wait to return!

Common Registration Questions

What age is my child eligible to start?

Children can start as young as 2 years old in our Little Toes program. We offer age-specific programs through age 6 (Future Legends). If your child just turned 2 or will turn 2 soon, contact us to discuss enrollment timing.

What if I miss a class?

Life happens! If your child misses a class due to illness, vacation, or other reasons, we offer makeup classes at our indoor facilities. Just coordinate with your coach through the app or contact our office at (913) 851-9898.

Can I switch locations?

Yes! If your circumstances change or you'd prefer a different location, you can request a location transfer through the app or by contacting our office. Transfers are subject to availability at the requested location.

What's included in the league fee?

The $165 league fee includes 7-8 weeks of instruction, 30-minute class plus game time each week, official HappyFeet team jersey, soccer ball (if child doesn't have one), professional coached games, and an end-of-season medal for every participant.

Do I need to commit for a full year?

No! Weekly classes are month-to-month with no annual contract. You can cancel anytime with 30-day notice. Weekend leagues are seasonal commitments (7-8 weeks), but there's no obligation to register for future seasons.

What if my child is shy or has never played before?

Don't worry! The vast majority of children in HappyFeet programs are trying soccer for the first time. Our coaches are experienced with shy children and use gentle encouragement. The non-competitive, imaginative approach helps even the most hesitant kids open up and have fun.

Do I need to buy cleats or special equipment?

No special equipment is required! Just comfortable athletic clothes and sneakers. We provide the soccer ball (Bob the Bobcat), team jersey, and all training equipment. For outdoor leagues, you may optionally purchase cleats, but they're not required.

Can I try a class before committing?

Absolutely! Contact us at (913) 851-9898 ext. 235 or info@happyfeetkc.com to arrange a trial class. We want you and your child to be 100% comfortable before enrolling.
