LITTLE KICKERS

Using football to give children from 18 months - 7 years, confidence, co-ordination, control and sense of camaraderie

The Little Kickers toddler football programme was developed by FA-qualified coaches and nursery schoolteachers (with feedback from a group of demanding parents!) and teaches fundamental football techniques & elementary life skills in a group play environment. Invaluable social skills like listening, sharing, taking turns and teamwork are conscientiously woven into a involving programme that places as much emphasis on simple learning concepts like colours and numbers as it does on fine-tuning a child's basic balance, agility and co-ordination.
 
They recognise that every child is an individual, and feel that children develop their skills best when they are playing with other kids of a similar age and ability. As such, Little Kickers separate kids into four distinct age groups, which encourage each child to maximise their involvement and development potential. 
 
Established in the UK in 2002, in response to a lack of quality sports coaching for pre-schoolers, Little Kickers has grown through franchising, now operating across 5 continents. With firm emphasis on teamwork amongst our franchisees, and sustained investment, they have built a strong operational infrastructure enabling franchisees to provide 1500+ weekly premium football skill classes to 20,000+ children. Their experienced head office team recognise ongoing success requires continuous support, and are always available to provide advice and encouragement to franchisees.
