Young Strikers Program

Young Strikers is physical education designed for youth with an emphasis on the game of soccer. Children involved in this program will develop confidence, hand-eye and foot-eye coordination, and make friends while learning the game of soccer in a safe and clean environment. Young Strikers staff enjoy working with kids and look forward to exercising with your child.

With a vision to see young children want to be involved in aerobic activity and enjoy the benefits of sports throughout their lives, Coach Jimmy has organized Young Strikers to see kids find fun in exercise in a non-competitive, learning enviorment. Keizer Soccer Club and Coach Jimmy have partnered since 2005 to teach the beautiful game to the youngest ages. In this short time span, Coach Jimmy has Directed KinderKick for Keizer Soccer Club and SoccerTots for Salem Indoor Soccer Center. Coach Jimmy is a graduate of Corban University where he was a member of the all-CCC team. He and his wife, Annette, live in Wilsonville, where Jimmy is an assistant coach for the girl's varsity team at West Linn High School.
 
Young Strikers: After School Program
Young Strikers has been proud to partner with schools and local non-profits to establish after school soccer. We provide the staff, curriculum, and equipment; the school provides the facility, field, or gymnasium; the kids receive the benefits of aerobic exercise and learning the game of soccer.

Schools that have opened their doors to Young Strikers include Abiqua School in south Salem, Queen of Peace Catholic School in south Salem, and Willamette Christian School's Keizer campus. Dallas United Soccer Club and Wilsonville Swap & Play hosted classes last summer.

Additionally, our staff had the opportunity to assist Surge International in three assemblies at Trost Elementary in Canby. A few schools have even had the opportunity to auction off Young Strikers camps and session coupons.

If your school, day care, parent co-op, soccer club, or non-profit is interested in partnering with Young Strikers, contact kscjimmy@gmail.com or call (971) 338-9082.
 
Young Strikers: Elite XI

As your child gets older, the game of soccer will demand more of them creatively. Young Strikers is committed to providing your child an edge by focusing on the importance of the technical game at these key developmental ages. With this in mind, Young Strikers has launched its Elite XI campaign with the goal of seeing your child remain one of the top eleven players on the field during any given match by standing out technically.
