  • Development Of Motor Skills

One of the major benefits of baby football is that it will help your baby to develop their fine motor skills and their gross motor skills

From simply taking part in the activities at your classes, your baby will develop their coordination, leg movements and it helps them to sit up. 

  • Development Of Cognitive Skills

Baby football will also have a positive impact on your baby’s cognitive development. At this early stage in the development, your baby will be listening as you speak. They will start to be able to differentiate between sounds of the language and sounds that they have never heard before. 

This is also the stage where they first begin engaging in social interaction with you and you will begin to see the first hints of a smile. As part of their learning and development, this is the stage where your baby will begin imitating you. Babies learn and develop by copying the people in their environment. 

By bringing them to a football class and helping them with the activities, your baby will begin to copy, helping them to develop their cognitive skills. 

  • Making Friends 

A big benefit of bringing your baby to baby football is that they will be around other children their own age. As they progress through the classes, they will begin to make friends with their classmates. 

You will also get to meet other parents and you too could form some friendships that will last outside of the football class. 

  • Building Self Confidence

Going to baby football will be a really excellent way to help your child to build a healthy amount of self confidence. Baby football will do this by providing your child with small wins throughout the classes. They will make new friends and build confidence in their physical ability and social skills.

  • Positive Impact On Emotional Wellbeing 

Baby football will also have a positive impact on your baby’s emotional wellbeing. They will feel a sense of achievement and will feel joy as they have fun and make new friends.

They will learn from a young age how to navigate the happiness of doing something well and the frustration that comes when something is a little harder.
