Sessions for this age group build confidence, enhance listening skills, and introduce basic ball control through exciting, age-appropriate activities.
Ages 3–4 years
These classes introduce more advanced football skills, teamwork, and simple games, all while keeping the primary focus on fun and engagement.
Fun activities, essential skills!
Every First Kicks session is packed with fun, age-appropriate activities that keep little ones active and engaged. Children will enjoy dribbling, kicking, balancing, and obstacle courses, alongside exciting ball control games and teamwork challenges.
What they learn through play
Through engaging play, children develop crucial skills such as coordination, balance, confidence, and listening. They also learn about sharing and social interaction, building a lifelong love of sport and physical activity. Every session ends with smiles, encouragement, and a strong sense of achievement. ⚽💚
