Toddler Football Classes That Will Work For Your Child
Each child is different and within our toddler football classes we respect these differences. All of our classes are divided into age groups:
Phase 1 – Building Foundations is designed for 6 months to 1 year old children. The focus is on building a strong foundation for your child by helping them develop their motor skills and cognitive skills. The activities are aimed at developing coordination, leg movement, communication skills, counting basics and physical development.
Phase 2 – Improving Balance is designed for children aged 1 to 3 years old The sessions are designed to improve the skills that have already begun to develop. Your child will work on coordination, balance and learn how to move with greater speed and ease. They will work on ball control that will give them a great foundation for football skills as they grow older.
Phase 3 – Mastering Footwork is designed for children aged 3 to 5 years old. This phase is all about your child putting the skills they have learned in Phase 1 and Phase 2 into practice. They will also begin working in pairs and small groups so they can strengthen their social skills and learn about cooperation and teamwork.
Along with our toddler football classes being divided by age group, we take an individual approach with each child, taking into account their needs and progress. We will help each child to celebrate their successes and overcome any areas they find more challenging.
