Fall in Love with the Ball

  • Provides a safe and enjoyable environment for children to develop a relationship with the ball.


  • Involves weekly sessions in the fall and spring seasons; the Kicks4Kids coordinator places kids into small groups upon registration.


  • Members of the Iowa Rush coaching staff oversee player volunteers from the Select program as they lead kids through a series of fun games.


  • Prioritizes lots of contact with the ball, lots of goals, and lots of fun!

  • Participants will break up into small groups to play fun games that focus on basic soccer skills and coordination exercises.
  • Parents are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and enjoy watching participants experience the joy of soccer!
  • If your child is nervous and struggling, we encourage you to come out onto the field to help make them feel more comfortable.
