You are more than welcome to sign up your child at any point during the session as long as the class has room.  We would prorate the cost of the class so you would only be paying for the remaining classes from when you signed up.

 

Afrim’s Sports provides a uniform with every $35 annual membership paid.  We suggest that the children wear the uniform to class but do not require it. What every child is most comfortable in is best.  Children of all ages can wear sneakers or turf shoes. For children 5 and up we require shin guards to be worn.

 

 

For most classes we cap the class at 12 children per coach.  The peewee class we cap the class at 8 children per coach to help with the transition from parent participation. 

 

 

 

Peewee class is a smaller class to help focus on transitioning away from parent participation. If you are just joining the program the Peewees class can be helpful if the child is often shy or has never done anything apart from their parents before. 

 

 

 

 

No props are used for the Go2Goal classes, focus is on learning the game of soccer.  Go2Goal classes are still for rec level players to be introduced to soccer but with the soccer ball at their feet the whole time.

We ask that you bring a water bottle for your child as well as proper shoes (sneakers or cleats) and athletic clothing. We will supply all necessary equipment (balls, cones, etc.)

 

 

You can come to a make up class.  We just ask that you give us a call at (518)438-3131 to confirm the class has room. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, we ask that parents stay on sight during classes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, you must register for the remaining classes during the session. We do offer free trial classes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A parent calls to schedule a trial class with a class that has availability.  If the child enjoys the class the parents can pay for that class and the remaining classes for the session.  If the child is not ready to participate in class yet there is no commitment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, unfortunately you have to sign up for a specific day a week. You can do a make up any day of the week if you can not make your specific class.

You are allowed 3 make up classes. All make-up classes need to be scheduled during the session in which the original class was missed. It can not be scheduled during a new session. 

 

 

During our Mites and Mighty Mites classes we introduce the sport of soccer but our main focus is developing balance and fine motor skills to help grow the child into a soccer player.  During the class parents will participate in various activities that are guided by their coach, using props such as hoops, balloons, noodles, cones, and soccer balls to keep the children engaged. 

 

 

We ask that parents not go on the field.  We will allow parents to sit on the end line with their child and encourage them as they play the games on the field.  

 

 

 

Each class is 50 minutes long. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For our Winter, Spring, and Fall classes the sessions are 13 weeks long. The Summer Session is 10 weeks long. 

There are a few days that will be 12 weeks during the Winter, Spring and Fall depending on when holidays fall. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For most of our classes we try to max out the class at 10.  If there are more kids than 10, we will add an additional coach to that class. For the Peewees (3 year old beginners) class we max it out at 8 to ensure that the children in this age are listening and getting the attention they need to separate from their parents playing with them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For safety reasons we ask that all players stay in their correct level.  We not only want to make sure that everyone is safe but also don’t want the kids who are age appropriate for the class don’t feel like they have to hold back to prevent from injuring others in the class.

 

 

 

If your child has expressed interest in playing soccer and not longer wants to play with the hoops and noodles during class your child is ready for Go2Goal. If your child is interested in scrimmaging and wants to use their feet they are ready for a Go2Goal class

 

 

 

 

The first question to ask is, is your child old enough to move up to the next level?  If the answer to that question is yes then the next question to ask yourself is the child bored or moving faster than the other kids in their class?  If the answer is yes to that then yes you should definitely move your child up. If you are unsure you can always ask your coach and they will let you know what they suggest.

Yes you can request your coach from a previous session.  It is not a guarantee that you will receive that coach for your class but we will do our best!
