Attending KixKids Programs has enormous benefits for young children and their parents:

• Improvement of balance and co-ordination, as well as posture
  
• Development of cognitive skills
  
• Increased self confidence
  
• Improved social skills
  
• Enhanced muscle and bone development
  
• More body awareness and understanding of the benefits of exercise
  
  

The benefits of taking part in KixKids Programs go far beyond just the physical and research shows that children who are physically active from a young age are more likely to concentrate better in the classroom. Add this to USC's focus on educational and social development as well as physical and soccer specific skills and you can see that KixKids really does give a great start to children.

The KixKids League encourages full parental participation and the emphasis is always on fun, structured play and development throughout each of the 3 KixKids phases: Micro - Mini - Maxi. Each activity is intended to improve motor skills and to do so in a fun, creative and safe way. KixKids sessions are led by staff who have undergone comprehensive and regular USC training courses. This training covers the theory and background behind the USC Academy philosophy as well as the core skills, exercises and games for all 3 phases.
