Lil' Kickers & Skills Institute - West Loop

Its been a full year since I started my now five year old daughter with lil kickers. The coaches and staff are great, communication is clear, and great for the price. The portal for registration takes a little getting used to, but easy once you get it. We've done both the indoor and outdoor sessions. Definitely recommend for kids first starting out. We’re going to do one of their Skills courses next before getting her on a team.

My son's second time in this class, and he loves it. We went from lil kickers to Skills because he started out so shy he would cry at the beginning of each session. But coaches were amazing to help him be a part of the group, and he never felt left out. He has overcome that fear in Skills Institute! He loves to play soccer and interact with other kids there. Thank you to the coaches. I have a super happy and active kid.

We enrolled our son in his first session about a month after he turned 2. He just finished that session and absolutely loved it!! The facility is great and the coaches are very friendly and engaging - he definitely got the hang of the games and activities after the first few classes. It has also been a great way for him to burn off some energy during the winter! We already signed him up for the next session and can't wait to go back.

Our experience with Lil-Kickers (Skills Institute) has been nothing short of incredible! My son absolutely loves attending every week and counts down the days until the next session. The program is well-organized, engaging, and tailored perfectly for youth soccer development. A huge shoutout to Coach Joe—he is truly amazing! His enthusiasm, patience, and ability to connect with the kids make such a difference. My son has not only improved his soccer skills but also gained confidence and a love for the game, thanks to Coach Joe’s encouragement and positivity. The sessions are a great mix of skill-building, teamwork, and fun. As a parent, it’s so rewarding to see my child learning and growing in such a supportive environment. I highly recommend Lil-Kickers Skills Institute to anyone looking for a fantastic soccer program for their kids!

We are such big fans of little kickers. Our son started at 18 months and loves going to soccer and his coaches. I highly recommend, especially in the cold winter months. It's a great indoor activity!
