There are many ways to get the most out of children’s football classes and there are things that can be done within class and at home. Within this article, we will share with you how you help your child have a wonderful experience and get the most out of their children’s football classes.
Choosing The Right Children’s Football Class
Firstly, it is important that you choose the right children’s football class for your child. There are many factors to consider and, within this section, we will talk you through these factors.
Age
It is important that you find a children’s football class that is age appropriate for your child. This is important because it will mean that everyone is at a similar developmental stage.
At Socatots, all our children’s football classes are divided into phases and the phase your child is in is dependent on their age. This allows us to fill our classes with age appropriate activities that are fun and help with the child’s football skills and their development as a whole.
Expert Coaching
Even from a young age, it is important that your child is coached by someone who is a professional, expert coach. This will help your child to learn and develop their skills with a great deal of success.
Each of our coaches is:
- DBS qualified
- UKCFDS qualified
- First-aid trained
- Fully insured
Your child will be in safe hands with us as they receive expert coaching.
Location
The final important factor is finding a children’s football class that is near to you. It being easily accessible to you will make it easy to attend each week which will help your child to get the most out of it.
We have over 90 classes in the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Find your local class here.
How To Get The Most Out Of Your Child’s Football Class
Along with choosing the right children’s football class, there are other things that you can do to help your child get the most out of their football classes. Within this section, we will look at some of the ways that you can help.
Give Your Child Praise
No matter how your child is progressing, it is important that you praise your child and be positive about what they are doing and achieving. This will help to encourage your child and motivate them to keep going and trying their best. Praise will also help them develop self-confidence and will support a positive self image.
Within our children’s football classes, all parents play an active role in helping their children with the activities. This helps to form an even stronger emotional bond and will give you the time to praise your child for how they are doing.
Practice At Home
Another way to get the most out of your child’s football classes is to practice some of the skills at home. Consistency and repetition are the building blocks to learning something new so it would be good to practice some of the skills at home.
Make Sure They Do Other Fun Things
We love football, obviously, but there is more to life than football and there should be more in your child’s life than their children’s football classes. Having no other fun activities in their day-to-day life could lead to them getting tired of football and the interest fading. And we don’t want that!
Introduce some other fun activities into their lives. This could be anything from taking them to the park to play on the playground or to have a picnic to getting them doing some baking.
Getting The Most Out Of Children’s Football Classes
There are many ways in which you can help your child get the most out of children’s football classes.
It is important that you pick the right children’s football class, taking into consideration the age of your child, the coaching on offer and the location that is right for you and your child.
Next, you need to offer some positive support to your child, praising them for doing their best and helping them with their skills at home. It is really important to remember that your child has other fun activities in their life, other than football. Football is great but if it’s the only fun activity in your child’s life they could lose interest in it.
Getting the most out of children’s football classes just takes some simple, easy steps.
