WHAT
I was asked to lead the mini soccer by the club in 2016 we start at u/4-u/6, I want to give the kids a good start, from working in schools I understand just kicking a football wont give you the skills you need long term.
Why
For me its all about FUNdemental movement and hand eye coordination,
mix this with a great relaxed environment and i think were onto a winner, we get the parents involved ( they always bring their boots!!) Young children may want to just partner with their friend, a parent, their grand parents, a brother, we just want them
active for 45 mins - an hour, the last 15 mins is play time, lots of stations they can just "play"
How
We want to create a playground kind of feel, some of these kids have only been walking a year and we want them to stay in a area with a boundary, stand in line! and listen to every word we say! Lots of games which involve them working out the answers, as opposed
to me telling them, not just kicking a football, i believe if we can create a great environment at the club where kids feel safe and relaxed, this will foster happier children . By adding in movement skills and throwing and catching if the kids decide in a
few years Football is not for them we have given them movement skills to take away that can transfer to other sports
