Junior Kickers Mommy & Me Ages 2 & 3Basic ball mastery is harnessed via multi-directionaldribbling and striking. In addition child interaction andcooperation is actively encouraged as our coaches seekto stimulate greater social skills, sharing and overallteam play-giving our pre-school pupils the in-builtconfidence to step away from their parents and standproud on their own two sneakers. It’s about now that ourclasses really start to have an impact on improving achild’s physical dexterity, particularly in the lower limbsand feet through a variety of ball balancing games. Thearrival of these newfound skills paves the way for ourpupils to learn how best to move through the gears andhow to change direction comfortably with the ball at theirfeet.
