Sessions will encourage the child to learn new and essential skills and attributes such as ball manipulation & mastery, balance, agility, eye-hand co-ordination, numeracy, colour recognition, social skills, further develop cognitive skills, enhance muscle and bone development, increase self confidence and the importance of keeping fit through a number of learning exercises.

Little-Strikers believe that children at this age will learn more from the sessions when they take part with a familiar adult i.e. parent/guardian. With the session requiring parental participation this ensures that your child is constantly involved within the session, the more you put in the more your child will get out of the sessions, practicing at home will bring enormous benefits and is very much endorsed by us.

If your child does not want to continue with football after completing the Little-Strikers programme then dont worry this is completely understandable as children at this age will often change their minds, its a part of the growing up process they undergo.

All the skills and attributes that your child has learnt and developed during the programme will aid them in their future development and will give them an advantage over the children that have not had the chance to develop these essential required skills.

It may take upto 6-8 weeks to get your child used to our routine, once your child is in the routine you will very quickly see the benefits and know the wait was well worth it.

Sessions:
A toddlers ability to focus is influenced by a number of different factors.

Research shows that toddlers can typically sustain attention to structured activities of 3-6 minutes per activity.

We have many different activities in every session over a period of around 40-50 minutes, depending on the child's age and ability. This aligns with the EYFS framework used in schools and nurseries.

Consistent routines can help toddlers anticipate what's coming next to help them stay focused.
