Our Little Boots program is built around the developmental needs of children aged 3-6. It is a high-energy program that introduces children to the fundamentals of soccer and focuses on skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting.
Little Boots also encourages character traits such as respect, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We provide the opportunity for young children to be fit and challenged through fun games and interaction. Children will also be introduced to competition in a developmentally appropriate manner.
You will love Little Boots because it is an exciting blend of team play and individual skills. Every child will learn new soccer skills and techniques through participation in games such as Cross the River, Hit the Pigeon, What’s the Time Mr. Wolf, and Attack the Sharks. Keeping our focus on fun activities, basic soccer skills are gained during each week’s 30 minute (or whatever time) practice of age-specific levels.
Little Boots is a progressive soccer development program that not only makes better soccer players but better people too. Our holistic and educational approach fosters mental and emotional growth as we focus heavily on core values. Integrity, perseverance, respect, positive attitude, teamwork, and leadership are just a few of the core values that we focus on by incorporating and a new core value each week and tie it in with fun activities and games.
Our Curriculum is built around the 4 cornerstones of football: Technique, Tactics, Physical and Mental abilities.
Each of these elements helps children’s overall development and soccer skills but most importantly their ability to approach situations from a new angle – look for different solutions.
Football is a physically demanding game that offers players the opportunity to improve their speed, agility, strength, hand to eye coordination, and overall cardiovascular endurance. We understand that beyond the thrill of playing matches, playing the game can help children develop social skills, new friendships as well as improve their self-confidence & self-esteem and learn respect, teamwork, loyalty, discipline, and hard work.
Children who are physically fit are also believed to achieve better academic results.
In addition to the sessions on and off the pitch we provide for our students soccer webinars helping players in their understanding of game tactics: defending, attack and ball possession are only a few of the topics we cover.
Football often comes down to the strategy that a team employs at the end of a close game. We examine and teach team tactics, preparedness and the organizational skills needed to play effective football. Utilising UEFA designed 8 V 8 sessions, we deliver 90 minute sessions training our players in tactical principles of pressing, transition, counter attack and fluid movement.
When not in the gym or on the training field young players need to be able to recover from the effort and avoid injuries. A healthy body is a healthy athlete which his why one of our priorities is to inform and educate the importance of Nutrition. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is a key element of our more educational approach to football and we want to ensure all our players have a clear understanding of the “good” and “bad” in food.
