Arena Sports Coupons

I have a few coupons here for Arena Sports. First person to ask will get them- just email me. Here's what they're for: (1) Lil' Kickers Free Trial Class (not valid for currently enrolled Lil' Kickers), (2) TNT Technical & Tactical Free Trial Class (not valid for currently enrolled TNT participants), (3) Birthday Party Fun (save $20), and (4) Fun Zone Indoor Inflatable Playground (free one day pass). There is no expiration date on any of them.

I can't speak to all of their programs or even their main facility but the Lil' Kickers soccer program takes place throughout the greater Seattle area. Our son did one of their classes two summers ago at the Mercer Island Community Center and I was extremely impressed with the coaches- they learned all the kids' names quickly; never ran out of enthusiasm or praise; and encouraged kids who were a little behind the pack by hanging back and doing the "drills" alonside them so they didn't feel alone. The younger kids' programs are non-competitive but the kids do learn soccer skills while engaging in some wonderfully creative games.

We were thrilled to learn that the class locations have expanded and you can now take them at the North Highlands Neighborhood Center right here in Renton. While the facility is nowhere near as gorgeous as the one on Mercer Island, we loved the shorter drive, especially last fall, when we also had a little baby in tow. Our son has now taken three classes and I was impressed with the program consistency among coache; I have yet to see a coach I didn't like.

While the cost is much more than we prefer to pay, I have not seen a children's sports class that matches the caliber of Lil' Kickers through Arena Sports.

Update: So I just found out that Lil' Kickers is no longer being offered in Renton- bummer! The next closest location is now Mercer Island, which is actually not more than a 30 min. drive at the time of day that they have classes and is a very beautiful facility. Bring your coffee, drop off the kids, and sit in the lobby overlooking Lake Washington!
