Socatots York & Selby

Look at Teddy here, practicing his tiny taps ⚽️ moving around to different number spots 🟠, here we are trying get the children to understand to keep control of the ball, not just kicking it really hard or really far. 🙌🙌

Have a look at this…. After practising the technique of the inside/outside taps throughout the session, we decided to play a game. Travelling around with the ball, but entry through the cones was only possible after 4 ins/outs. Once through, we have to close it for the next person! Great sharing! Mixing football techniques with games is a great way for our little ones to learn! We love these games at Socatots! ⚽️

👣 Two footed Oscar! The work we put in at is always using both 🦶 . By doing this repetition at such a young age, the children are able to dribble (as you can see in the video), pass, receive, juggle, balance and volley with either foot! Taught in the right way this is all possible! Fantastic control!

Oscar doing a great job with his skittle work this week at our York sessions. Listening for one of three parts of the feet, right foot or left foot, then the colour of the skittle to knock down! 👣 plus he had his fast 💨 running feet! Top work!

🧠 This weekend the children were asked to connect multiple bits of information together, here’s Maisie listening to the instructions - “GREEN skittle, with RIGHT foot, using the OUTSIDE!” The children then have to connect the information and remember, then execute the correct body position and technique to carry it out! 🦶 Great work Maisie!! ⚽️⚽️
