Soccerstarts is a structured football coaching programme designed for toddlers, preschoolers, and primary-aged children, helping them develop confidence, coordination, movement and football skills through age-appropriate training.
Age Group Breakdown
- Parent Participation Groups
- Walking to 3 years (From 16 months): Full parent involvement (1 parent per child).
- 2.5 to 3.5 years: Full parent participation (1 parent per child).
- 3 to 5 years: First half of classes use activities that encourage independence and children to take part on their own. Second half includes full parent participation. (Parents take part in at least 50% of the class with their child)
- Non-Parent Participation Groups
- 4 to 6 years
- 5.5 to 7.5 years
- 7 to 9 years
To support individual development where possible/practical, age groups overlap, ensuring each child is placed according to their confidence and readiness. For example, a 5.5-year-old who is ready can move to the older group (5.5 to 7.5 years), while another child may remain in the 4 to 6 years group until they gain confidence.
