Thanks for the information I will certainly look into it. What about Stanley? I have heard there are weekend soccer and rugby for kids.

We've tried both Socatots (brazilian league) and Playsports soccer. The Brazilian league is way better. They group the kids by age, whereas Playsports group the 3-6 year olds together. The 3 year olds don't have a chance of getting the ball from the 6 year olds. The Socatots teachers are warm and are great with kids. The Playsports teachers maybe good soccer players but have no experience with 3 year olds.

Is Socatots still popular for young toddler? i'm thinking of enrolling my 16 months old daughter to try (looking at YWCa).
Any comments from mom whose kiddies are currently in the class?
Thanks in advance

We LOVE Socatots! I blogged about it here:

My boy is currently in the 4yo class. He's been doing Socatots for a year now. I'm thinking of enrolling my girl for the 2yo class next term.

Thanks Buckeroo for sharing your comment, i'm going to try going down to see the class to understand better as it's quite unlike the other playgroups. but as my daughter is very very active with lots of energy, so thinking this could be a great class for her to try. how old did your son started the class? are there toddlers around 16 months old?
