Technical Soccer Skills Clinics & Camps
Skills Institute is a soccer program designed for kids aged 5-12 to improve their technical abilities, regardless of their current skill level. Our program provides a fast-paced, engaging environment with more ball touches and individualized coaching than a typical team practice. This approach helps players build confidence and advance at their own pace.
With our proven curriculum and coaches trained in child development, each session is customized to fit your child’s needs. Whether your child is mastering the basics, refining advanced techniques, or looking for more game experience, we have a class level suited for everyone.
Skills Institute is available year-round at six convenient locations across Seattle and Eastside areas. Try a free 50-minute class or join one of our camps today!

What makes Skills Institute better than other technical soccer coaching for kids?
Soccer training should be more than just developing players—it’s about developing well-rounded kids who love the game. Unlike traditional programs, we emphasize skill-building and personal growth, giving every child the tools to succeed on and off the field.
Personalized Attention
Our program is tailored to meet kids where they are based on their physical and developmental stages. This individualized approach supports their growth as players and people, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of soccer.
Higher Possession and Fast-Paced Classes
Skills Institute offers fast-paced classes with more ball touches than traditional outdoor practices or clinics. This hands-on approach accelerates skill development, helping kids build confidence and prepare for future success in recreational and club leagues.
