Football brings children together, but the friendships they build often last far beyond the session.

At Footy for Tots, we create a welcoming environment where children can play, learn and grow alongside others their age. Through games, activities and shared experiences, children naturally begin to build friendships and become part of the group.

What children develop in our sessions:
โ€ข Learning how to play alongside and with others
โ€ข Taking turns and sharing equipment
โ€ข Communication through games and activities
โ€ข Confidence in group situations
โ€ข Teamwork and cooperation
โ€ข Friendships built through shared experiences

The benefits arenโ€™t just for the children either. Many Grown Ups build friendships too, creating a supportive community on the sidelines.

Every session is designed to encourage interaction, teamwork and positive relationships while making football fun and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Because sometimes the best thing children take home isnโ€™t a new football skill. Itโ€™s a new friend.

Unfiltered. Unscripted. Completely honest.

Ask a few simple questionsโ€ฆ and you never quite know what youโ€™re going to get back ๐Ÿคฃโšฝ๏ธ

Thatโ€™s what makes this age group so special.
Not just the football, but the personalities, the confidence and the little moments you canโ€™t plan for.

Weโ€™ll be doing more of theseโ€ฆ so keep an eye out ๐Ÿ‘€

One of the key ball mastery skills we practice in Big Boots is our Squash Tap Taps.

It might look simple, but thereโ€™s a lot going on.

Players start by placing their foot on top of the ball to โ€œsquashโ€ it and bring it under control. From there, they perform small tap taps using the sole of their foot.

Why is this important?

๐Ÿ”ด It helps children become comfortable using the sole of their foot
๐Ÿ”ด It develops balance and coordination
๐Ÿ”ด It improves ball control and close touches
๐Ÿ”ด It teaches players how to stop and control the ball before moving again

At this age, ball mastery is about becoming comfortable with the ball at your feet.

The goal isnโ€™t speed.

The goal is confidence.

Because before children can perform skills, beat players or score goals, they first need to feel comfortable with the ball at their feet.

And thatโ€™s exactly what weโ€™re building every week.

Weโ€™re back for one last term before the summer holidays and we canโ€™t wait to welcome the children back for more football fun.

Term 6 is always a brilliant one. Lots of energy, lots of smiles and the perfect chance for the children to keep building their confidence, coordination and football skills.

You can still join us at any point this term, so thereโ€™s plenty of time for your child to get involved before the summer break.

โ€œChildren learn by doing, and play is their way of doing.โ€ โ€” Penelope Leach

As parents, it can sometimes look like children are โ€œjust playing.โ€

But in reality, thatโ€™s exactly how they learn best.

At Footy for Tots, our sessions are built around active, playful football experiences where children learn through movement, repetition, exploration and fun. Every dribble, kick, chase, and game helps develop confidence, coordination, listening skills, social interaction and problem-solving. All in a way that feels natural to them.

Because young children donโ€™t learn by standing still and being instructed.

They learn by doing. And play is how they do it best. โšฝโœจ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Give your child the chance to learn, grow, and thrive through play
