Professors track house points along the way, doling out riddles, challenges, and magical surprises throughout the term.

Along their journey, students will:

• 🪄 Craft their own wand and keep a magical notebook
• 🧪 Brew potion-inspired science creations
• 🦉 Design magical creature crafts using real science concepts
• ✨ Learn spells and compete in a friendly dueling tournament
• 🏆 Earn house points through participation and teamwork

A closer look at the magic: In Potions class, students might whip up slime and bath salt creations inspired by beloved characters and moments from the series. In Care of Magical Creatures, they'll explore genetics while designing and building their own owl puppet — because at Hogwarts, science and imagination go hand in hand.

Soccer Stars blends skill-building with small-sided games, energizing drills, and confidence-boosting coaching — all wrapped in a season of after-school fun. Families enroll in one combined TK–5th grade class; at the first session, coaches divide players into age- and skill-appropriate groups (typically TK–2 and 3–5) so every player gets instruction that fits where they are, with chances for groups to face off throughout the season.

Each week follows a simple, energizing rhythm:

• ⚡ Warm-Up — Drills that build speed, agility, and coordination.
• 👟 Skill of the Week — A new foot-skill focus each week (toe taps, turns, tricks, dribbling combos) building ball control and confidence one touch at a time. Simple enough to practice at home, too!
• 📋 Rule of the Week — Age-appropriate rules introduced during live play, so kids learn the game naturally, not from a lecture.
• ⚽ Game Time — Small-sided matches that maximize touches on the ball and keep the focus on fun over competition.

Our coaches guide rather than over-direct, letting players learn through experimenting and observation — building teamwork, self-esteem, and a genuine love of the game.
