Keiki Academy
Welcome to Oahu Academy’s soccer program! Here, we play hard, have fun, and learn to be great teammates. Our program is perfect for kids and beginners who want to improve their soccer skills, make new friends, and enjoy the game.
We have partnered with Coerver Coaching Hawai'i and our coaches will help you get better at soccer while teaching you important values like honesty, never giving up, and being a good person, both on and off the field.
Kids ages 5-8 are learning to play soccer and we work on building a variety of skills, including:
1. Basic Motor Skills - running, jumping, kicking, balancing
2. Coordination - Foot-eye coordination
3. Basic Soccer Skills - Dribbling, passing to teammates, shooting at a goal, ball control
4. Social Skills - Teamwork, communication with teammates and coaches, following instructions
5. Cognitive Skills - Understanding simple game rules, basic strategy and decision-making
6. Physical Fitness - Building endurance, increasing strength, improving flexibility
7. Emotional Skills - Developing confidence, learning to handle winning and losing, building resilience and perserverence
8. Fun & Enjoyment - Having fun while playing, developing a love for the game, making new friends
These skills lay a strong foundation for both the soccer development and overall personal growth.
