Little Toes Soccer Program
Your Toddler's First Soccer Adventure
Little Toes is where the HappyFeet journey begins! This parent-and-me program introduces 2-year-olds to the joy of soccer through imaginative play, songs, and adventures with Bob the Bobcat.
At this age, it's all about building comfort, confidence, and a love for movement. Your toddler will develop essential motor skills while having an absolute blast—and you'll be right there sharing every magical moment.
What Happens in a Little Toes Session?
"Storytime with a Soccer Ball"
Your toddler meets Bob the Bobcat (their soccer ball!) and embarks on an imaginative adventure. Through songs, nursery rhymes, and fun games, they'll practice moving with the ball while exploring exciting places like the zoo, the movies, or an enchanted castle.
Parent-and-Child Play Time
Free play time where you and your toddler can kick the ball around together, score goals, and celebrate their new skills. This bonding time reinforces what they learned and makes soccer a special activity you share.
Skills Your 2-Year-Old Will Develop
Balance & Coordination
Moving with a ball challenges balance and builds coordination that benefits all physical activities.

Running, kicking, and stopping develop the large muscle groups essential for physical development.

Social Comfort
Being part of a group class helps toddlers become comfortable in social settings with peers.
Ball Familiarity
Every child has their own ball, building early comfort and confidence with the soccer ball.
Self-Confidence
Achievable challenges and positive reinforcement build a "go for it" mentality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is Little Toes for?
Little Toes is designed specifically for 2-year-olds. Children must be 2 years old to participate. When your child turns 3, they can advance to our Big Toes program.
Do parents stay during Little Toes class?
Yes! Little Toes is a parent-and-me program. A parent or caregiver participates in the class alongside the child. This helps 2-year-olds feel comfortable while bonding with their parent through soccer play.
What equipment does my 2-year-old need?
For Little Toes, your child just needs comfortable clothes and athletic shoes. No shin guards are required for 2-year-olds. You'll need to bring a size 3 soccer ball (or a Bob the Bobcat ball if you have one).
What if my child cries or doesn't want to participate?
Totally normal! Our coaches are experienced with toddlers and understand that some days are harder than others. With you by their side and our gentle, encouraging approach, most children warm up quickly. There's no pressure—we follow your child's lead.
Who is Bob the Bobcat?
Bob is your child's soccer ball! Throughout class, we take Bob on imaginative adventures. This makes the ball a friend rather than just equipment, helping children naturally want to keep the ball close and "tame" it with their feet.
