Benefits of Football Classes for 18 Month Olds
At 18 months, your little ones are developing essential life skills every day by running around, exploring and playing. This makes it the perfect time to introduce them to interactive sports in a fun and pressure free way.
As parents, you can expect exciting and age-appropriate football lessons for your little one with the Twinkle Stars age group, each focused on the following benefits:
Basic Skills Development Through Play
Our football sessions use sport to help your child develop basic skills for their overall development.
Each football lesson is designed to help your toddler through the various stages of child development through the use of fun football-related exercises, with a special focus on activities that develop essential skills. Something as simple as learning how to follow a 1-step instruction within an organised setting can help your little one build on cognitive skills like focus and memory.
Social Skills & Confidence
Our group sessions give kids a chance to play football with other kids who are in and around their age group. This helps them to learn important life skills, build confidence, and make new friends along the way — all within a fun and nurturing environment.
Adding to their social and communication skills at this early age is a big stepping stone towards good self-esteem and learning interpersonal skills. Even in our youngest age group, the children learn about teamwork and begin to understand the fundamentals of fair play and the importance of being a team player.
Toddler Specific Motor Skills
Because our curriculum is age-specific, our football training sessions for 18 month olds start with basic motor skills such as co-ordination and balance. The sessions also work on the very basics of football to build the foundations of sound ball skills and ball control for future classes.
Healthy physical activity and an active lifestyle can have a positive impact on your child's life all the way into adulthood, so our aim is to make sure that this introduction to sports and exercise is positive, fun, and energetic.
Unlike competitive clubs that focus on physical fitness and football skills regardless of age, our coaches will ensure that your little one has a safe and stress free entry into physical activity.
Set the foundations for a healthy lifestyle for your little one with Soccer Stars Academy™!
The Perfect Balance of Fun & Learning
At Soccer Stars Academy™, we are passionate about football and early childhood development. Our sessions are not just about scoring goals and being the best, but about helping your little one find their confidence and love for the sport at their own pace.
We know that parents want the best for their children in sports and life, and that’s why we have created a learning environment to support this.
This is what you can expect when you sign your toddler up for weekly football classes at Soccer Stars Academy™:
A Positive, Encouraging & Friendly Environment
Soccer Stars Academy™ provides a fun environment in which your child can learn and flourish without the pressures of competitive club football. We teach children football and life skills through fun, helping your child gain confidence and develop their self-esteem on and off the field.
Passionate & Compassionate Coaches
Our coaches are here to ensure your children can grow and have as much fun as possible while learning and playing football.
When you sign your child up for a Twinkle Stars class, you can find comfort in knowing that they will receive high-quality coaching from enthusiastic, empathetic and experienced sports coaches.
Our coaches are qualified in relevant fields, including nursery and primary teaching, professional football, and physical education.
Parent Participation & Inclusion
We know that every child is different, so we have designed our group sessions to be inclusive of all capabilities and with small classes limited to 16 children so our coaches can give each child the individual attention they need to develop their skills and progress.
With the Twinkle Stars as our youngest group, we require parent participation. This gives parents an opportunity to be involved in their children’s early sports education and support them as they start out on their football journey.
