Rubyz (18 Months to 2+ Years Old)
Soccer Program for 18 Months to 2+ Years
Our Rubyz classes focus on the development and learning for children aged 18 months to 2 years old. Motor and social skill improvements are made through fun instructional games and obstacle courses, all while learning the basic fundamentals of soccer.
SoccerGemz also offers Mommy and Me Classes for our Rubyz aged participants. Moms with children 18 months old to 2 years old are welcome to join the SoccerGemz Mommy and Me classes for a fun and educational experience for both Moms and little Gemz.
