The Germiston City Sports Club will host the Little Kickers event, on January 25.<\/p>\n
Little Kickers is a football skills coaching clinic for children aged between 18 months and seven years.<\/p>
The event, on Saturday, sees the launch of an ongoing development programme, and the focus is on fun.<\/p>\n
Little Kickers is a national network of informal, yet professionally run training classes, where enthusiastic boys and girls are given a helping hand to stand on their own two feet.<\/p>
A head start in sport is a fantastic investment in the children’s future.<\/p>\n
The real goal of Little Kickers is to use football as a fun forum to instil extra confidence, co-ordination, control and a sense of camaraderie; which will see children go on to greater glory in the golden game.<\/p>\n
“We strongly believe that children learn best when put in age appropriate groups.<\/p>\n
“Every game we play can be adapted to meet the developmental needs and ability of any class,” said one of the organisers, Cristina Paul.<\/p>\n
Little Kickers classes help children to discover the rewards of regular, structured physical exercise, laying the foundation for fit, active and healthy lives.<\/p>\n
The programmes introduces real football skills through exciting group play activities.<\/p>\n
Valuable concepts, like sharing; taking turns, teamwork and listening to instructions, are incorporated in the activities.<\/p>\n
The classes also enable children to develop co-ordination, agility and balance, and early learning concepts such as colours and numbers are gently introduced through football.<\/p>\n
The football equipment used is realistic and child-friendly.<\/p>\n
Parents are encouraged to book their children for a free session, so that they can experience the awesomeness of Little Kickers.<\/p>\n
Parents are also welcome to come and support their children.<\/p>\n
Everybody is welcome to come and join in the fun, and the event will run from 9am until 11am.<\/p>\n
