How Your Child Will Benefit From Our Classes For 5 Year Olds
Our football classes for 5 year olds are designed to give each child the best start in life. The skills they learn will set them up to have a happy and healthy life by helping them:
- Develop their motor skills – balance, coordination and movement
- Develop their cognitive skills – numeracy, speech and pattern recognition
- 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. What we can guarantee is that they will get the best start in life.
Football Classes With An Individual Approach For Every Child
All of our classes are designed to be appropriate for each age group. Our classes are designed to help your child steadily develop their skills as they grow and learn with us.
With our football classes for 5 years olds, each class is 45 minutes long and the focus will be on putting all the skills they have learned into practice. Your child will be learning more challenging commands and will begin to learn good habits such as keeping their head up whilst practising footwork. Simple activities will be introduced which involve controlling the ball in the air and honing their skills.
In our football classes for 5 year olds, we still make sure to take an individual approach with each child, catering to each child’s specific needs. We want every child to feel confident in all areas so we will take time to help them overcome any parts that they are finding more challenging, as well as helping them to celebrate all their successes.
Expert Coaching From UKCFDS Accredited Coaches
Your child will receive expert coaching from all of our coaches. Each of our coaches is:
- DBS qualified
- UKCFDS qualified
- First-aid trained
- Fully insured
This means that your child will be learning from professionals who are trained in child development. Your child will always be in safe hands.
Plays an active role in your child’s success
Within our football classes for 5 year olds, although we will begin to encourage cooperation by having the children work in pairs and small groups, we still want every parent to play an active role in their child’s class.
Having the parents play an active role is important because it will help to increase your child’s confidence and self-esteem, whilst strengthening the emotional bond that you share with each other.
This is really important throughout a child’s life and, at 5, it will help them to navigate the world of school and all that it brings. Having a healthy level of confidence and good self-esteem will set them up to enjoy and flourish in all these new experiences.
Becoming Part Of A Team
With our football classes for 5 year olds, we still want parents to play an active role but, when your child reaches this phase, we will begin placing them in pairs or in small groups with other children to encourage teamwork and to teach them cooperation.
Alongside encouraging teamwork and cooperation, this will further build their confidence and social skills as they learn how to work with the other children. These will be great assets to have when they are in class, at school and throughout their life.
Your Child Will Be Top Of The Class
We have heard from many parents of children, who attend our football classes for 5 year olds, that they are ahead of the game within their PE lessons and their football teams.
We love hearing this because we want each child to leave our football classes feeling confident and ready to use the skills that they have learnt from us. Within our classes, your child will learn and develop physical skills, master football skills and increase their social skills,cooperation skills and confidence.
Our football classes for 5 year olds are setting each child up for success in many areas of their life so, whether or not they want to be the next Trent Alexander Arnold or Chloe Kelly, they will come away from our classes having learned skills that will help them throughout their life.
