Youth/Tot Soccer

I am trying to compile a list of soccer options for toddlers in Philadelphia. This isn't even for Jeremy (yet), but I hear a buzz about people wanting to sign toddlers up for soccer. Here is some preliminary research:
  • Friends of Clark Park has a program for children 5 through 11. It appears to be spring and fall, outdoors.
  • Fairmount Soccer Association has a program for children 4 and up. Registration for fall has already begun. Soccer for the young set (4 year olds) is new.
  • Soccer Shots is new in Philadelphia. It accepts kids as young as 2! They have a week-long summer program, a fall program, and a winter season.
  • Capitolo Youth Soccer has a blog which indicates that the new season should be beginning soon (3 to 5 year olds and 6 to 10 year olds).
  • I don't know much about this, but I found the following: The South Philadelphia Soccer Club is having sign-ups for soccer, ages 4 to 6, to be played Saturdays in the fall. E-mail spsctotsoccer@yahoo.com.
  • I am fairly sure that Starr Garden (6th and Lombard) has soccer for young children, but I haven't been able to find much information on it yet: 
  • Finally, the brand new Nest (review to follow when we finally get a chance to check it out!) has a nice-looking non-competitive soccer program called Bend It Like Beckham which is Fridays 4:00-5:00 for 3-5 year olds.
