Our minis program has been going since Term 4 2020 and has been slowly growing throughout the beginning of 2021. However, since our freedom from lockdown we have seen a spike in participation for children ages 2-5 years old which we think is fantastic!
The purpose of the minis program is to provide young children with a fun and active introduction to football so that when they enter club football, they will hit the ground running. We envision an overall increase in kids that love and play football for a longer period of time. We even hope to see these same youth players back in our SAP space after a few years.
Here’s our philosophy:
The ESFA minis program is an exciting, accessible, and inclusive soccer program for young children in the Eastern Suburbs. The program aims to actively enhance communication skills and social interaction, develop balance & movement as well as be highly enjoyable for both the children and the coaches alike. Over the course of the classes, your child will learn how to move with the soccer ball, change direction & speed, pass & control the soccer ball, and of course, score plenty of goals!
We have devised an age-appropriate, preschool soccer-specific curriculum that will introduce your child into the world of soccer through a range of activities and fun-based games designed to stimulate a child’s imagination and develop basic motor skills that are essential for playing soccer, among other sports and activities.
Each session is staffed by enthusiastic, professional coaches trained specifically to engage and motivate children ages 2-6 years, ensuring that they are learning the basic principles of soccer, as well as enjoying the game in a safe and fun environment. We pride ourselves on providing sessions which promote the FUNdamentals of soccer!
