Super Stars — Finding their Stride
At Soccer Stars Academy™, our kids football classes are divided into four development pathway age groups (18 months to 3 years; 3 years to 4 years; 5 years to 6 years; 7 years to 9 years). Our Super Stars class for children between the ages of 7 and 9 years old is our final age group.
As the little ones pass through the various classes, they achieve a set of milestones which we have set out for each group. Once they have progressed from the previous class, the Shooting Stars, we will teach them the following milestones in our Super Stars class:
• Etiquette
• Co-operation
• Spatial Awareness
• Game Play
• Football skills
We also add more complex techniques to the fundamental football capabilities learned in previous classes (ball control, dribbling, passing, shooting, tackling, etc.), and we develop more all-round footballing abilities and concepts, such as team play, positioning, and tactics.
When the young players graduate from our final class, they will be ready to join more competitive football teams for 8 year olds or 9 year olds.
Benefits of Football Lessons for 8 Year Olds
Weekly training in a sport as complete and all-encompassing as football can benefit young boys and girls in countless ways.
Here are some of the major benefits and takeaways you will see in your child once they start our weekly sessions:

Physical Development Through Football
It goes without saying that a sport like football will aid in your child's physical development. These improvements can range from basic motor skills and general balance and co-ordination to more specific skills such as agility, stamina, and strength.
The games and activities we have curated for our children's football classes also ensure that the kids build a positive relationship with their body and with physical exercise — both of which will impact them well into the future.
Building Social Skills & Friendships
Football is a fun team sport and, with our training sessions, kids get to make new friends and play with children their own age in a space outside of the home and school environments.
Over and above creating new friendships, children who are shy can find a safe and nurturing space where they can come out of their shell and build their confidence and self-esteem.
Holistic Growth for a Balanced Lifestyle
While developing their confidence and ball skills, the boys and girls at Soccer Stars Academy™'s football classes for kids also learn a range of life skills they can use on and off the pitch.
There are elements of attention, focus, decision-making and cognitive development, as well as of fair play, being a team player, and general resilience. All of these are highly transferrable skills that they can put to use for the rest of their lives — regardless of whether they pursue football further after graduating from the Super Stars class.

Soccer Stars Academy™: A Kids Football Academy with a Difference
As parents, when you’re looking for a football club for your 8 year old, you’re likely looking for a facility that will care for your child as you do and put their wellbeing first. Soccer Stars Academy™ is all about giving children the best football lessons without taking away all the fun and excitement that goes along with playing the beautiful game.
The kids in our football classes have a ball (literally and figuratively) as they learn through football and grow into confident young players from week to week. You’ll notice in no time that training days will become your child’s favourite time of the week.
This is what sets our award-winning children’s football classes apart from the rest:
A Safe & Nurturing Environment
We have created a friendly and safe environment for children of all ages that is welcoming and inclusive of all abilities. Our coaches encourage and support the young boys and girls in our classes, allowing them to grow at their own pace and make the most of the fun that is football.
Passionate & Experienced Coaches
Soccer Stars Academy™’s kids football coaches are passionate about teaching and compassionate and patient with each child.
Our coaches have backgrounds in football training, primary and nursery school teaching, professional football, and other related fields. This makes our coaching sessions a valuable stepping stone towards your child’s football dreams — whether they want to play for the fun of it or become the next big soccer star.
High Quality Football Training
While we offer children’s football lessons in an environment that allows our young players to have fun, we also ensure a solid foundation in basic football skills by focusing on ball control, passing, shooting, dribbling, and more.
We ensure that the classes have a maximum of 16 players so we can coach with an individual approach and monitor each child’s progress. Our coaches give each child the attention they need to develop their ability range and find success according to their unique strengths.
These high-quality football classes for kids will equip your child to eventually find their place in league football clubs for 8 year olds should they wish to continue their footballing journey after graduating from Soccer Stars Academy™.
