SKILL TOTS

 Skill Tots is the perfect way to introduce young children to football. The 45 minute sessions are for children aged 4-6 (Year R & Year 1) and are designed to teach basic ball mastery skills as well as agility, balance and coordination. Each session includes 10 minutes of individual ball mastery, followed by a 15 minute small group practice on a specific topic, such as passing and receiving, culminating in a 20 minute small sided game which encourages players to put into practice what they have learnt 

Getting your child into any sport has huge benefits, but here are our top 5:

1. Most importantly playing any sport is fun
2. It helps child development
3. Teaches the importance of rules
4. Helps to develop discipline
5. Promotes teamwork and social skills

All Skill Tots sessions give children the following objectives to achieve:

• T = Try your best
• E = Enjoy yourselves
• L = Listen to the coach and each other
• L = Learn something new and practice it at home

As you can see, it spells the word TELL – we ask the children to TELL the coaches the objectives at the beginning of each session, then we ask if they achieved the objectives at the end of each session.
