Football is a fantastic way for toddlers to develop essential skills both on and off the pitch. Want to know what your toddler will gain from weekly football sessions? You’re in the right place!
This blog aims to explore the benefits that toddlers get out of weekly sessions at Kixx. Let’s kick off!
What Your Toddler Will Gain from Weekly Football Sessions with Kixx
- Physical Development
Football sessions for toddlers help your little ones develop coordination, balance, and gross motor skills. The skills that toddlers learn in our football sessions, such as running, kicking, and jumping can improve their agility and fitness, setting a strong foundation for a healthy lifestyle that they can carry throughout their lives, both on and off the football field.
- Social Skills
The skills toddlers pick up in weekly football sessions don’t just concern their physical development – they also develop social skills. Interacting with like-minded little ones in a team environment helps toddlers learn valuable social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and communicating with others.
- Confidence
Every success, whether it’s kicking the ball in the right direction or scoring a goal, boosts a child’s confidence. Football sessions for toddlers at Kixx offer a supportive and encouraging space where your little ones can develop independence, confidence and boost their self-esteem.
- Building Great Habits
Children who join our football academy before starting school are offered the huge benefit of learning key skills that can help them in the classroom and throughout their lives. One thing that they learn in football classes is how to listen and follow instructions. Football sessions teach children to follow the rules and respect their coaches and teammates. These are valuable life sessions that will benefit them as they grow.
- Cognitive Development
Alongside social skills and communication, football sessions for toddlers can massively impact their cognitive development. Alongside physical benefits, the sport also engages a child’s brain. Understanding simple tactics, the use of space, and making decisions all contribute to cognitive growth and developing problem-solving skills for your little ones.
- A Love for Sport
We are all, of course, huge football fans at Kixx, and our coaches want to share their passion and love for the game with your little ones. Introducing football to children at an early age can spark a lifelong passion for sports and physical activity. This can offer so many benefits for children both on and off the pitch – toddlers who enjoy playing football are more likely to stay active as they grow older.
- Having Fun!
You have heard us say it once (or maybe a few times more), and you’ll hear us say it again. At the heart of football sessions at Kixx is fun! Above all else, our football sessions are designed to be fun and inclusive for children of all ages, starting as young as 18 months old. Engaging sessions, fabulous coaches, and exciting games make sure that your child looks forward to their weekly Kixx football session.
