Kids Soccer Programs

Welcome to Rovers International Soccer! Our unique 'Skills & Values' program caters to children, ages 3-12, fostering not only skill development, but also values discovered through play. Our 'Game for Goodness' teaches cooperation, respect, kindness and gratitude inside a love for playing. Soccer Hall of Famer, Coach Spencer Rockman and his year-round coaches lead engaging sessions focused on individual development in a group setting, ensuring a rewarding soccer experience for all.


Our dynamic weekly, hour-long 'Community Soccer' series have 3 independent semesters during the school year: Fall Outdoor, Winter Indoor, Spring Outdoor, plus a short Summer-fest Series. These sessions focus on age-appropriate games for ages 3-12, enabling siblings to play at the same time in different age groups. 


Registration is easy. You can pay securely online by credit card or simply call to reserve and pay by check, Venmo, or cash. All children will need is a water bottle, proper-sized soccer ball, shin-guards (ages 7 and older) and sneakers/ soccer shoes. Can't attend class one week? No problem! Let us know; we'll work with you to find a make-up. We can help with any schedule issue!

  • What happens in case of bad weather?

    In case of inclement weather, a decision is made if a class needs to be posponed, in which case another session is added at the end.

  • What will my child need?

    A size 3 soccer ball is for children through about age 6. Then, they'll graduate to a size 4 ball, which is good till age 12, when they'll begin using a regulation size 5. 


    Balls can be purchased at Soccer Stop (297 Inman Ave., Colonia 732-882-0606), Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods.  (If a child forgets their ball one week, they can borrow one from our coaches.)


    Children should wear comfortable clothing for running, suitable for the day's weather, including sneakers - or cleats, if they own them.


    Children should always have a labeled water bottle with them.


    Shin-guards are generally recommended beginning around age 6.
