How Your Child Will Benefit From Our Classes For 3 Year Olds
Whether your child has dreams of being the next Harry Kane or Lauren James, our football classes for 3 years olds will still play a vital role in their life. The benefits include:
- Helping them develop their motor skills – balance, coordination and movement
- Helping them develop their cognitive skills – numeracy, speech and pattern recognition
- Helping them develop their social skills, their ability to work within a team, their communication skills and their confidence.
With our help and your involvement and support, your child may go on to become a star footballer but what we can guarantee is that they will get the best start in life.
Football As The Medium, Healthy, Happy Kid As The Goal
With our football classes for 3 year olds, we are using football as the medium but our goal is that we help each child to be healthy and happy.
We achieve this goal by providing your child with vital life skills that they can take into school such as sitting, listening, speech recognition, numeracy and social skills.
On the physical side of things, of course they will learn to master football skills and all that comes alongside them – coordination, balance and teamwork.
Activities That Suit Your Child’s Age And Needs
All of our classes are designed to be appropriate for each age group. Within our football classes for 3 years olds, each class is 40-45 minutes long and the focus is on continuing to develop their key skills.
At this age, they will be finding their feet and their voice. If they have been with us since they were 6 months old, they will have built up solid foundation skills. We will help them to continue this development by working on their coordination, balance and learning to move with greater speed and ease.
Along with designing our classes to be filled with age appropriate activities, we also cater to each child’s specific needs. We take an individualised approach with all of the children in our classes. We want them to feel confident in all areas so we will take time to help them overcome any areas that they are finding more challenging.
Your Child Will Receive Expert Coaching
Your child will receive expert coaching from all of our coaches. Each of our coaches is:
- DBS qualified
- UKCFDS qualified
- First Aid Trained
- Insured.
This means that your child will be in safe hands, learning from professionals who are trained in child development.
Every Parent Will Play An Active Role In Your Child’s Progress
Within our football classes for 3 years olds, every parent will play an active role in their child’s development and progress whilst they are training with us.
This is an important part of our classes because your involvement helps to increase your child’s confidence and self-esteem, whilst strengthening the emotional bond that you share with each other.
Having a healthy level of confidence and self-esteem will help them during big moments in their life – heading off to school, meeting lots of new people, forming friendships and growing up. If they choose to continue on with their football, with the goal of making it their career, confidence mixed with the other skills they develop with us will set them up for success.
We Will Help Make Them The Star Of Their Football Team
Over the course of our time running our football classes for 3 year olds, we have had many happy parents tell us that their children have received praise from their PE teachers for being ahead of where they should be at. When they go and play for their football teams, their child is the star of the team.
This is due to their children being enrolled within our classes from a young age, developing important physical skills, mastering football skills and growing their confidence, social skills and their teamwork skills. Our classes are setting them up for success in school and further on into adult life.

Who is running the classes?
The classes have to be run by FDS UK qualified coaches. This could be the franchisee or coaches trained by FDS UK Leadership.
Can girls attend the classes?
Yes, of course! Some franchisees run girls only classes.
How do parents actively participate in SOCATOTS?
Parents act as individual coaches to the children, encouraging them, demonstrating to them and helping them how to take part in our unique activities and games (under the guidance of a qualified coach).
What kind of equipment is used in the classes?
These classes use a variety of age appropriate props to help children develop. These include domes, dice and hoops as well as our specially designed Socatots footballs and nursery rhymes.
Can siblings take part in classes?
We recommend that franchisees have a sibling policy that encourages sibling participation, but only within the relevant age groups and with one guardian/carer per child.
Can I pay by cash?
No, the only way we accept payment from customers is via the booking system.
Am I tied into SOCATOTS classes for a certain period?
Cancellations are actioned on the customer portal. Once the cancellation button has been clicked by you, the customer, one final payment will be required to be taken before the account is closed.
Is the monthly payment for 4 sessions a month / 1 session per week?
The monthly payment guarantees you and your child a place in the class chosen for twelve months worth of classes, some months have more than others but it all equals out over a 12 month period. Within a 12 month period we offer 41 classes, and this is what customers are paying for.
Do I have to buy the SOCATOTS kit?
Yes, this is a mandatory purchase, we like everyone to look the same in their kit. It’s a feeling of belonging to a team and the children look great! It’s potentially a one off purchase, and we suggest buying the size one up so that the kit can last longer. Some children only go through two kits their whole time with us at Socatots. You have 4 weeks to purchase the kit, otherwise your space will be given to someone else.
Can I make up for missed sessions if I am away?
Yes, providing there is space on the alternative session you would like to attend. Discuss with your coach which sessions have spaces free and you can double up or change for that particular week. We do not offer refunds for missed sessions.
Where is my nearest class?
We have over 90 classes in the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Head here to find your local class.
