Getting Started On Their Journey To A Healthy Life
At 6 months olds, this is the youngest that a child can join in with our football classes. Each class is filled with child appropriate activities that have been carefully designed for each age group.
Our football classes for 6 month olds are 30 minutes long in order to cater to the shorter concentration span. Within these classes, focus will be on developing motor skills and cognitive skills. These are activities designed for non-walkers, aiming to develop their coordination, leg movements and helping them to learn to sit.
The approach we take will help to develop their social skills, personality, communication and language skills, counting basics and physical development.
Individual Approach To Guide Every Child To Success
Our football classes for 6 month olds are designed for each child, based upon age but also where they are in their own development.
Every child will be coached with an individual approach, helping in areas they find challenging and celebrated for all their successes.
Expert Coaching For Every Child
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.
You will play an active role in your child’s success
With our football classes for 6 month olds, you will play an active role in each session and all the activities.
You play a key role as you will act as an individual coach for your child, encouraging them, demonstrating to them and helping them how to take part in our unique activities and games. This will all be done under the guidance of a qualified coach.
This is important because your involvement helps to increase your child’s confidence and self-esteem, whilst strengthening the emotional bond that you share.
Increasing confidence and self-esteem will help them during the big steps that they will be taking as the years pass – heading off to school, meeting lots of new people and forming friendships that may last a lifetime.
