2. How do I register for a no-obligation trial class?

Please call the office closest to your area. For locations North of I-10, please call 281.230.7721. For locations South of I-10, please call 713.429.5312. Please also make sure you register online or over the phone even for a trial class so our instructor is able to locate your child's name on the class roster.

9. My child will turn 3 years old in the middle of the session, which age group class do you recommend I register my child for?

If you are new to the program we recommend taking the class that fits your child's age at the time you join. The instructor can assess the ability of the child once the session begins, and can recommend a higher level class (age group) and you maybe allowed to move up or down depending on the situation. This applies for all ages and classes.

10. There are no suitable class times to fit around my schedule; will SoccerTots create a class for me?

Subject to facility availability, we would be happy to create a new class time for you as long as you know at least four children who can commit, so please contact our office.

11. What do I need to bring to class?

We provide all equipment needed for the class including soccer balls. Your child should wear loose-fitting clothing and comfortable shoes such as sneakers or tennis shoes. We also recommend bringing something to drink as not all facilities provide water fountains.

12. Do I have to sign a Waiver form and where can I obtain one?

Yes, all parents of participants are required to sign this document on behalf of their child prior to stepping on to the field. If you registered online, you may have already signed a Waiver. We also provide blank Waivers at each facility, but you are more than welcome to download our SoccerTots Waiver here and bring the completed form to class.

13. Do I need to buy shin guards and soccer cleats?

SoccerTots is non-competitive and classes are always held indoors, so shin guards and soccer cleats are not required.

14. Can I bring siblings to a SoccerTots class?

Younger siblings are welcome to observe the class but for safety reasons we cannot allow these younger children to walk and crawl around the field and play with equipment in the same area as the class. Older siblings are welcome to watch but due to the focus and attention required in these classes we cannot allow them to participate.
