We are proud to be more than just football - while football is the tool we use, our goal is to develop the fundamentals of movement (balance, agility & coordination), fundamental movement skills (running, hopping, skipping, jumping), social skills such as listening, sharing and taking turns, and early learning concepts like numbers, colours and body parts. We have 4 different age groups to ensure children participate with their peers at around the same developmental level. Our Little Kickers programme is suitable for children aged 18 months to 2.5 years - it's a parent-toddler programme requiring active parental participation, which ensures your child gets the very best out of the sessions; learning to listen and follow instructions through engaging, fun games is the goal at this level. Our Junior Kickers classes are for 2.5 to 3.5 year olds, who are starting to get more independent at this stage - children participate more by themselves, though many will still like to have their parents close to them at the magic wall, with Play, Practice, Understand as the learning outcome. The next stage is Mighty Kickers, suitable for 3.5 to 5 year olds, where most children participate independently with parents encouraged to support from the sidelines, further developing Play, Practice, Understand. The Mega Kickers programme brings together all the learning outcomes from the previous levels, relying less on the play-orientated structure of earlier stages, with a 20-minute match at the end of each session preparing children to move onto football academies and continue their football journey. Throughout all stages, our core philosophy of Play not Push is embodied - we believe children should be gently encouraged to participate and allowed to watch if they are unsure, in the hope that seeing other children in the class participating will spur them on to join in the fun.
