First Touches is Suburban FC’s introductory program for our youngest players. Built for children ages 18 months to 3 years, the program introduces the soccer ball through play, movement, and exploration.
Sessions focus on physical literacy, coordination, and basic movement skills in a fun, low-pressure environment. Activities blend simple ball interaction with games that encourage confidence, curiosity, and social connection.
This is a parent-tot program. A parent or caregiver stays on the field and participates alongside their child, with sessions led by Suburban FC’s trained coaches. The goal is simple: get kids moving, smiling, and comfortable with the ball while building a positive first experience in sport
