The sessions
If you’re starting at this age group, we initially get you actively involved in the classes to support your own child’s engagement. Soon they’ll be playing independently.
Key features
Everything is adapted to your child’s young age…
- We’ll give your child their own Little Stars mini football kit.
- We use real footballs, but shrunk down to Size 2 (adults use Size 5)
- We have proper goals, shrunk down to 150 x 90cm – great to score in!
- Our coaches are skilled at engaging young children.
- Our games are carefully designed to involve and challenge this age group.
Learning outcomes
While they’re having fun, they’re learning…
- To listen to and follow coach instructions.
- To start playing independently.
- To remember the games and understand the rules.
- To try more challenging movement - changing direction, slower, faster.
- To improve ball control - kicking, dribbling.
While in this age group, they work towards Big Star Awards for their new skills, with and without a ball.
We have classes for children of different age groups too. Take a look at our other groups
