Soccerstarts Parents ⚽

A big thank you to all the parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and carers who attend Soccerstarts each week.

Encouraging Children Positively ⚽

Positive encouragement from the sidelines makes a big difference to children’s confidence and enjoyment.

Simple comments from coaches ( and parents) like “well done” or “great effort” help children feel supported while they learn and develop and encourage them to be creative and make decison to dribble and beat players.

At Soccerstarts we encourage players to make their own decisions during small sided games, helping them build confidence and understanding of the game.

We will also coach where appropriate during small sided games to help children improve the in game decisons they make.

Our aim is to create a positive environment where children feel comfortable taking part and enjoying football.

One of the most rewarding things about running Soccerstarts sessions is seeing how children grow in confidence over time.

We see:
⚽ confidence taking part
⚽ Better listening and following instructions
⚽ Improved movement and coordination
⚽ comfort using the football

Every child develops at their own pace, and it is always great to see the progress children make through regular participation.

For younger children, learning football isn’t just about playing matches.

At Soccerstarts we focus on developing the foundations first through activities that improve:

⚽ movement and coordination
⚽ agility, balance and control
⚽ comfort with the football
⚽ confidence taking part

These foundations help children build the skills and confidence needed as they progress through the Soccerstarts development pathway.
