At Little Kickers West Midlands, our Little Kicks football coaching classes cater to children aged 1.5 to 2.5 years in selected areas, including West Midlands, Stourbridge, Telford, and Sutton Coldfield. These sessions require parent participation and introduce the children to the basics of football – dribbling, striking, and goal-scoring – in a play-oriented yet structured format. The focus is on 'learning to learn,' utilising play, repetition, and structure to enhance cognitive and social skills. Parents actively participate in some games, fostering a supportive learning environment, while others target developing independence. These classes provide a foundation for a love of football and contribute to valuable early education. Contact us for more information.
