Lil Footballers provides an opportunity for preschoolers to learn the game of soccer. This “all about the fun” class will introduce soccer basics as children, ages 3-5, experience being part of a team.
Lil Footballers is coached by Isley Brown and Kelvin Hughes. Heidi Burns will also serve as assistant coach. We are very fortunate to have three incredible coaches!
Isley is currently a student at Wayne Sate University and subsitute teacher at the U School. He also coaches the U School basketball program Lil Hoopers. He has previous experience as child care staff member at AAPS Rec & Ed where he has also served as youth coach and soccer referee. Isley has a passion for working with young children and coaching. He is also the oldest son of U School co-founder and director, Ryan Brown.
Kelvin is the dad of Otto, a current U Schooler, and is an avid Arsenal fan. Otto kicked his first football the day he came home from the hospital! Kelvin played semi-professional football many years ago and still enjoys playing at Wide World Sports from time to time. He has coached older kids and was inspired to get involved after seeing what a great job Isley was doing with Lil Hoopers.
Heidi is the mom of Otto, a current U Schooler, and is in a household of football fanatics. Heidi played football in high school, coached by her mom, and is excited to bring that journey full circle by coaching Otto and friends. Last year, Heidi enjoyed playing co-ed 6-a-side at Wide World and is looking forward to having just as much fun with Lil Footballers.
We are very excited to have Isley, Kelvin, and Heidi coaching Lil Footballers as a part of our U Family programming!
