This 6-week introductory program is for boys and girls ages 4–7, designed to teach real soccer skills in a fun, age-appropriate way. Each 75-minute session features 45 minutes of instructional training followed by 30 minutes of small-sided 4v4 games, giving players the chance to apply new skills in a game-like setting. Led by U.S. Soccer–licensed coaches, CCFC players, and parent volunteers, the program creates a supportive environment where young athletes can build confidence, develop fundamental skills, and enjoy their first steps into soccer—while also fostering growth in character, community, and purpose.

All FIRST TOUCH PROGRAMS require a full 6 WEEK commitment.
