Our professionally run classes aim to provide the best in early football for young children in Malta. The classes are specifically designed for boys and girls 2 years - 6 years old to take their first steps into football. We use football and fun games to build confidence, co-ordination, communication and team-building, while providing the opportunity to mix and make friends with other children. L
earning group activities, following basic instructions like sitting, standing, walking and running in line and watching others is all part of the experience. Our exercises are designed for young children to use their imagination and our warm up sessions are aimed at getting them to listen to simple instructions and interact in a fun and easy to follow play environment. Simple problem-solving activities provide the perfect informal games focused classes for encouraging fledgling footballers to advance their basic attention and listening skills. Building confidence and feeling at ease is a key part of carefully designed activities. By interacting in fun games, that include activities with specific leg and arm movements our classes help young children build their physical confidence, practice new actions whilst watching and copying their friends. Simple show and tell techniques and activities with bags of patience, good humour and re-enforcement is key part of the classes. Treating each child as an individual and providing parents with feedback on how well each child is doing is all part of our carefully designed experience. In our classes, young children gain greater motor control whilst developing their co-ordination, balance and full body control mechanisms. We introduce them to controlling the ball and share with them the concepts of trapping and dribbling with the ball. Early development of eye and ball co-ordination is critical. In order for the children to feel comfortable and natural with a football they learn to kick both stationary and moving balls to identify targets and most important of all – score some goals! We want young children to be excited every time that they come to our classes and scoring goals is the perfect opportunity for them to realise that they have succeeded and are the best in their world! To achieve this, we require 1 (but only 1) parent to participate with each child during each session.
