5.0Overview
- Trial session for either the Mercury, Venus or Earth groups of the 'Soccer and Healthy Minds' course. Group descriptions are as follows:
Mercury (approx. ages 2 – 5)
THEME: Setting your little star up for success, with a short, fun session
For any budding Messi or Ronaldo, body confidence is the first step of the journey to greatness. This 30-minute session introduces skills such as throwing, catching, jumping, crawling, etc., which set the platform for the fun, football-themed activities they’ll take part in. These focus on ball mastery (confidently using different parts of the foot to move the ball) and striking.
They’ll also learn key soft skills, such as staying within boundaries, and listening to instructions. As you can imagine, this is sometimes a challenge at this stage 😊. Parents / guardians should be prepared to join in the fun!
Venus (approx. ages 4 - 6)
THEME: Falling in love with the beautiful game, and beginning to understand themselves and their world.
Here, we take the next step in developing their physical and technical skills, in a fun, 60-minute session. Each week, children will further develop their ball mastery, and cover a key skill, such as:
• First touch and passing
• Running with the ball
• 1v1’s
• Shooting
They’ll also have the chance to show off their skills in a small-sided game at the end!
Just before the game, we’ll take a short break to focus on their wider development. Inspired by the CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) model, there’ll be a quick activity around one of the 5 areas of social and emotional learning:
• Self-awareness
• Self-management
• Social awareness
• Relationship skills
• Responsible decision-making
Earth (approx. ages 6 – 9)
THEME: Preparing to take on the world!
Following the Venus session structure, children will continue in their key skill development for 75 minutes – ball mastery, 1v1’s, first touch and passing, etc. The more passionate children will perhaps be looking to join a team at this point, so teamworking principles will be gradually incorporated.
We’ll also take it to the next level with their social and emotional development, again using the CASEL framework.
