About Us

Little Kicks was founded on the principle that young children should first be taught the joy of being physically active and the thrill of playing a sport in tandem with building a solid basic skills foundation. By using teaching methods that reinforce good skills and techniques through the use of fun and interactive games, children are more likely to want to continue their sport participation in the future.

Stephen Baselice, owner, is a United States Soccer Federation "C" licensed coach and trainer. With 17 years of coaching experience, he has trained teams from the NJ Olympic Development Program, South Jersey Select Soccer, Medford Strikers Soccer Club, Marlton Travel Soccer and the Princeton Soccer Association.

Philosophy

Children learn best through positive modeling and when teaching sports, the same is true. Our Instructors will consistently illustrate kindness, consistency, patience, and acceptance. We treat each child with dignity, respect, care and expect the children to show the same courtesy to others. Our classes not only teach basic soccer skills and techniques, but they also teach the importance of good sportsmanship, teamwork, and positive thinking. To Little Kicks, all children win when they learn to love playing sports.
