Kids Football Classes for Every Age & Level

Our clubs are divided according to age at each location, with two age groups for toddlers and two age groups for children under 9 years.
Football for Toddlers in Manchester
Our soccer classes for toddlers start a love for football and exercise in a fun way during their formative years.
We offer two classes for toddler football:
Twinkle Stars – 18 Months to 3 Years
The ‘Twinkle Stars’ classes are the first in our development pathway in Manchester. These are the perfect introduction to organised physical activity and academy training – executed in a way that is fun and interactive for both parents and children.
Sessions are designed to help kids develop social and motor skills while also helping them move onto more active independent interaction.
Bright Stars – 3 to 4 Years
Like all Soccer Star Academy classes, our ‘Bright Stars’ classes are designed with the philosophy of being fun above all else.
Our aim is to develop basic football skills as well as develop confidence and cognitive skills such as listening and memory. We use a range of exciting football-related games and activities to do this and have a weekly theme to encourage the kids to use their imagination.
Football for Kids in Manchester
Our soccer classes for kids 5 years old and upwards focus on age-appropriate skills and fun football activities.
We offer two classes above the toddler age group for kids football:
Shooting Stars – 5 to 6 Years
The ‘Shooting Stars’ classes are designed with skill in mind. The focus is football skills such as shooting technique, dribbling, ball control, passing, and tackling. We also introduce kids to our ‘Skills to beat players model’, which continues into the next age group as well.
Essential to developing these skills, however, is ensuring that the kids have fun.
Super Stars – 7 to 9 Years
The ‘Super Stars’ classes are our oldest class, with training to further develop key fundamental football skills.
In this class, kids are introduced to more complex skills to beat players and develop game awareness and an understanding of positions and spatial reactions. These concepts set kids up to join football clubs thereafter.
Soccer Stars Academy in Manchester can’t wait to welcome you!
Benefits of Our Football Clubs for Kids, Manchester
There are many benefits that football and play can have for boys and girls at this age. Our weekly classes combine physical and social activity that builds children’s social and cognitive skills while keeping them healthy and offering an outlet for stress and excess energy.
At Soccer Stars Academy Manchester, each child is allowed to get involved in a way that matches their abilities and makes the most of the benefits of the beautiful game.
Overall Development
Our kids’ football classes support your child in many ways beyond the usual physical development that sport offers.
Unlike traditional community football clubs, our aim is to use play to enhance cognitive skills, build confidence, and teach teamwork — all while encouraging the kids to have fun.
Contact with Peers
Group classes allow kids to play football with other kids of approximately the same age and learn important social skills.
Through football, children learn the advantages of being a team player and learn how to play fair. In each football training session, our coaches promote cooperation, togetherness, respect for opponents, and a friendly atmosphere.
Professional Training
Our classes have been curated by Soccer Stars Academy owner and former professional footballer, Mark Molloy.
No matter the location, Soccer Stars Academy football training sessions have been created with children in mind.
Our experienced, DBS checked coaches present 45-minute classes with paired activities, ball work, and game situations that are both challenging and fun. These classes are designed to prepare the boys and girls for match scenarios.
Football Techniques
Our coaching sessions develop a variety of football techniques that are appropriate to each age group.
As a football academy, we aim to coach the kids in such a way that they always feel as though they are playing whenever they are at soccer, even if it’s a match.
Our football club teaches kids fundamental football skills at every level. Some of the skills we teach include ball mastery, ball control, and dribbling, shooting and passing techniques.
Individual Approach
Each kids football training class is restricted to a maximum of 16 kids so that we can give individual attention to each child.
At Soccer Stars Academy, we have created a fun environment for children of all ages to grow. We assess every child’s skills and strengths and work on them to develop them further.
After just a few sessions, the improvement will be noticeable — to you and to your kids!
Physical Development
Introducing physical activity early on can have a lifetime impact on children, so ensuring that this introduction is a positive, fun, and energetic one is extremely important.
We show children how to train in a safe and responsible way while creating a good relationship with fitness and health.
Over time, they will improve their body’s ability to respond to physical movements, while also learning what their body is capable of and how extra effort can improve their performance.
Football Skills
Our football classes not only help to develop fundamental football skills but also teach the importance of fair play and abiding by the rules.
As new skills are learned, we can add aspects that align with the bigger picture of football, such as the various positions and formations, types of strategy, and tactical awareness.
Fun & Positive Environment
Soccer Stars Academy is a safe and fun environment that stays clear of the pressures of competitive club football. Our aim is for kids to learn through the fun that is football — using ball skills and teamwork to build confidence and relieve stress.
We don’t want our academy kids to be nervous about each session — and that is why we can proudly say that over 2000 boys and girls attend our award-winning classes every week.
With Soccer Stars Academy, your kids will look forward to soccer class every week or weekend.
