Tarzana Rec Center: Monday Development is underway. Labor Day, September 7, and Thanksgiving week, November 23, are skipped.
One source of truth. The live class list always sits on the Schedule page, and the registration form reads from the same data, so they never drift.
Class Dates by Venue
Exact session dates load live from the Nordic Soccer calendar. Holidays are already skipped and any changes post here first.
Weekend and weekday class dates are coming soon. The moment they are set, every venue's calendar appears right here.
In the meantime, the live calendar and the weekly schedule always have the latest.
What We Train Here
Every session follows the Nordic curriculum, built for the long game: players who still love soccer at 25.
Ball mastery
Hundreds of touches per session. Dribbling, both feet, close control under pressure. The foundation everything else sits on.
1v1 and creativity
Taking players on, escaping pressure, trying things. We reward bravery on the ball, not just safe passes.
Small-sided games
3v3 to 5v5 formats so every kid is constantly involved. More touches, more decisions, more goals.
Game intelligence
Positioning, scanning, and decision-making, taught at the pace that fits the age group. No tactics lectures for 6-year-olds.
Levels: classes are grouped by age, and coaches adjust within each group. Brand new and experienced players both fit. Not sure where your child lands? Take the 30-second quiz or register for a free trial.
How We Run Our Sessions
Every class is built around one idea: kids learn best when they are moving, laughing, and have a ball at their feet the entire time.
Ball Mastery First
Every drill, every game, every warm-up involves a ball. Kids are never standing in a line waiting. They are dribbling, juggling, or competing from the first whistle to the last.
Games That Teach
We run games like Freeze Tag with a ball, Terminator, and Clean Your Garden. Kids are sprinting, thinking, and competing the whole time. Fun is the vehicle for skill.
Weather Awareness
On hot days we move to shade, bring water, and adjust the pace. Your child’s comfort and safety always comes first. We never push through conditions that aren’t safe.
Makeup Days
When we have to cancel at a school, we do our very best to schedule makeup sessions when the school allows. We never just skip a session and move on.
