Stanley Kickers bring out children’s skills

ASFC COMMUNITY TRUST COLUMN

ACCRINGTON Stanley Community Trust resume the popular Stanley Kickers football sessions for children aged 2-4 years old on Saturday 10th June 2017 9.30am to 10.30am

Stanley Kickers is designed to cater for children aged two to four years old who are taking their first steps into football.

They are parent friendly, child specific and provide an introduction to the basic skills of football. Each child works with their own ball and this enables them to learn to master ball skills from an early age.

The sessions also use football as a means to achieve the following: The carefully planned programme is about a great deal more than just developing your child’s affinity with football, it is about giving them a well-rounded start in their physical, social and educational development and developing the ‘whole child’.

Our structured sessions allow parents to spend quality time with their child, safe in the knowledge that they are helping to develop the ABC skills of Agility, Balance and Co-ordination. This approach ensures children are learning to build the foundation of a healthy lifestyle and are beginning a lifelong relationship with sport and physical activity.

The classes are structured in such a way that parents are able to take away short activities to play with their children at home. Sessions follow a familiar format each week, as regular routines help children gain confidence.
