Fun Football Classes
for 3 Year Olds
Soccer Stars Academy™ offers award-winning football classes for 3 year olds at venues across the United Kingdom. Our goal is to create the perfect foundation for young, footy mad children to learn the beautiful game while having fun and making friends.
Many parents want to introduce their kids to football from a young age but are scared of the impact the pressures of competitive youth football will have on their child. That’s where our football lessons come in!
When you sign your little one up for our weekly football sessions for kids, they will be able to learn through play, build their confidence, develop essential skills, and practise this beloved sport in a fun environment.

Get your child started on the right foot with Soccer Stars Academy™’s fun football classes for 3 year old children.
Football Classes Tailored to 3 Year Olds
3 year old children can fit into one of two different age groups at Soccer Stars Academy™: Twinkle Stars (18 months to 3 years) and Bright Stars (3 to 4 years). Each group covers a certain set of child development milestones.
Our experienced coaches will teach, encourage, and monitor each child to ensure they reach these milestones before moving on to the next age group.
The two age groups at our football academy for 3 year olds are:
Twinkle Stars: Ages 18 Months to 3 Years
This is the first group in our development pathway. It is designed to be a safe and fun environment to introduce your little ones to the football basics.
Each Twinkle Stars session is designed for toddlers between 18 months and 3 years old, using games and activities based on their energy levels and abilities to help them develop towards the following age-specific milestones:
• Confidence
• Motor Skills
• Attention
• Cognitive Skills
• Ability to follow a 1 step instruction
• Football Skills
Because this is our youngest age group, we require parental participation at the Twinkle Stars sessions.
Bright Stars: Ages 3 to 4 Years
Building on the foundation set in the previous class, the Bright Stars sessions maintain the same level of fun and play while adding more ball skills and football-related games to the sessions. To keep the kids engaged and using their imaginations, we deliver each Bright Stars session with a different theme, encouraging both physical and mental activity.
As the 3 and 4 year olds learn to play football at these weekly classes, they will also work towards achieving the following milestones:
• Confidence
• Attention
• Spatial Awareness
• Game Play
Benefits of Football Training for 3 Year Olds
Toddlers are in a crucial phase of development during this early age, so our sessions are designed with this in mind. We focus on teaching more than just football by also helping the children grow holistically through learning important social and cognitive skills.
Parents can expect the following benefits for their toddler when signing them up for our weekly football sessions for children:
1. Age Specific Physical Activity & Motor Skills Development
At 3 years of age, young children may be very active, but it is still important that they engage in safe, toddler-specific physical activity that does not put too much strain on them — physically or emotionally.
We use football training, along with fun activities and games, to help young kids develop their fundamental movement, balance, co-ordination, and motor skills alongside ball skills.
2. Social Development for Confident Children
A confident child is a happy child, and our classes focus on helping young boys and girls build confidence both on and off the field. We do this through encouraging team camaraderie and helping them to believe in themselves and their abilities.
Because football is a team sport, the children also have the opportunity to make new friends and develop their social skills outside of pre-school.
3. The Introduction of Essential Life Skills
Playing football is just one part of our weekly sessions.
Through teaching this sport, we also teach children how to work and play in a structured environment and how to focus and balance listening to and carrying out instructions — a skill set that will help them when they get to school.
Through our mini-games and training activities, our young players will also learn how to be a good sport and learn the importance of being a team player, both in football and in life.
A Kids Football Academy with a Difference
Parents looking for a football club for 3 year olds often only find competitive football clubs aimed at strict drills and training for children who will eventually go pro. At Soccer Stars Academy™, we do things a little differently.
We have found the perfect balance that allows us to offer high-quality kids football lessons in an environment that is free from pressure and designed to build the confidence and self-esteem of our young players.
This is what sets Soccer Stars Academy™’s fun football classes apart from the rest:
Inclusive of All Skill Levels
We believe in the power of learning through play, and we believe that everyone should have the chance to use football to develop themselves.
Our kids football sessions are open to girls and boys of all abilities and skill levels, and with our small classes of up to 16 children each, our coaches will be able to give each child the individual attention and support they need to thrive.
Fun & Friendly Environment
Children learn best in an environment that is fun, so we have created this for our training sessions. We encourage and nurture each young player who joins our football classes by helping them develop their football skills at their own pace while making friends and having fun.
This is why we have over 2000 girls and boys who attend our sessions every week — and can’t wait to come back every week too!
Enthusiastic & Experienced Coaches
With the right guidance, your child can become a soccer star!
The coaches at Soccer Stars Academy™ have experience as professional football coaches, primary school teachers, and ex-professional footballers. They are passionate about helping children become the best version of themselves, session after session.
Using age-appropriate games, our coaches will be able to teach your children fundamental ball skills like passing, dribbling, and shooting.
