Dexter Soccer Club Hosts Kangaroo Kickers Program for Children

This fall, the Dexter Soccer Club provided an eight-week soccer program called "Kangaroo Kickers" for children ages 3-5.

The fun atmosphere created by Coach Jamie Lewis inspired young soccer players and fostered confidence and team work. The program helped children develop basic motor skills such as balance, agility and foot-eye coordination, and focused on soccer specific skills like passing and receiving the ball.

Coach Lewis did an excellent job of introducing the game of soccer to young people and instilling a love for healthy activity in a fun, encouraging and supportive manner.

The Dexter Soccer Club provided participation medals, sponsored by the Dexter Cooperative Nursery School, personally engraved for each member of the Kangaroo Kickers for the fall of 2011.

"Coach Jamie did a wonderful job with the kids. He consistently provided a fun, high-energy atmosphere for the kids to learn basic soccer skills," parent Holly Cabana said. "Since both of my daughter Kendall's big sister and big brother are on DSC travel teams, Kendall couldn't wait for her turn.

"I'm very grateful that the Dexter Co-op helped provide the medals for the kids.  Now Kendall has a special memento to remind her of her first experience with the Dexter Soccer Club."
