Kids Football Coaching for All Age Groups & Abilities

We believe the beautiful game should have no limits. That’s why we offer kids football classes for enthusiastic boys and girls from as young as 18 months old.

Our football classes for kids are divided into four age groups. The activities and training style for each age group matches the attention span and physicality of the children in the classes, all while teaching them essential skills through playing football.

Football for Toddlers in London

We have two age groups that offer football classes for toddlers in London.

Twinkle Stars – Ages 18 Months to 3 Years

Our Twinkle Stars football sessions are the perfect way to instil a love for football and sport in your child from an early age. It is also the perfect way for parents to spend time with their toddlers in a new and exciting environment on weekends.

These light and active football classes for toddlers take into consideration their needs at this young age, focusing on making running and general physical activity as fun as possible. With each football training session, toddlers will hone their basic motor skills and become more and more comfortable with active focused movement.

Bright Stars – Ages 3 to 4 Years

Building on the football training in our first age group, our Bright Stars classes maintain all the fun aspects that toddlers thrive on when learning through play while also beginning to take small steps towards basic football skills.

Along with teaching the fundamentals of the sport with football-related activities and games, we also include engaging weekly themes to spark each child's imagination.

Football for Kids in London

We have two age groups for children's football classes at our London locations.

Shooting Stars – Ages 5 to 6 Years

After completing our toddler classes, our young players are ready to begin with more focused football coaching that hones the skills needed for the various facets of the game.

Our Shooting Stars look at developing their fine motor coordination and ball skills. Here, our boys and girls learn the best way to dribble, pass, shoot and tackle.

We also introduce our 'Skills to beat players' model, coaching each child to get creative and add their unique personality to their playing style over time.

Super Stars – Ages 7 to 9 Years

For children who are interested in joining a youth football club team, the final level in our development pathway — our Super Stars group — is the ideal stepping stone.

We build on the 'Skills to beat players' model to help the young players prepare to eventually play matches against other teams while also developing their confidence with enhanced football techniques.

In this group, we add a number of new and advanced concepts such as team roles, positioning, spatial awareness, tactics and strategy.

Fun Football Parties & Events

Our football coaching for boys and girls is hosted throughout the year — during term time and school holidays — but if our weekly training sessions running on weekends aren't enough, we also offer exciting and interactive football-themed birthday parties and holiday camps.

Birthday Parties

Our birthday parties are inspired by football matches. They are split into two 45-minute sessions with our fully-trained coaches and include a half time for refreshments.

Every child will receive stickers and certificates for participation, while the birthday child is made to feel as special as possible, receiving the captain's armband and a trophy at the end!

Holiday Camps

We run exciting sports-themed football training camps during school holidays to help the children stay active, build confidence, socialise and play their favourite sport!

Our camps are a safe environment for growth and fun with various engaging themes that teach different aspects of football. Each child will receive a medal and certificate at the end of the football coaching camp to reward their participation, positive attitude and hard work.

Benefits of Our Football Classes for Kids in London

The benefits a child can reap from weekly football coaching are endless!

Parents of boys and girls at Soccer Stars Academy London have seen how our football classes have done wonders for their child’s confidence and all-around development on and off the field.

Here are just some of the benefits you can expect when signing your children up for our kids’ football classes in London.

Overall Development

Sports improves physicality and fitness, but what makes our football classes different is that we focus on holistic child development. With this in mind, we have created a milestone development pathway with age-appropriate training objectives.

Fun and self-esteem trump competition at our kids’ football club in London. We aim to develop each child’s confidence, cognitive skills, imagination, resilience, attitude and ability to collaborate just as much as we train them in football skills.

Contact with Peers

Soccer Stars Academy’s football classes for children are a wonderful way for boys and girls to make new friends who share their interests. Toddlers and children learn social skills from a young age — and the parents get to be a part of it all too!

Each football training session at Soccer Stars Academy London promotes joint participation, cooperation, togetherness and respect for other children — teammates and opponents.

The boys and girls learn the benefits of being team players in a friendly atmosphere. They also learn how to be a good sport, play fair, and make an impact on their team.

Professional Training

From our youngest group to our oldest, the football training sessions at Soccer Stars Academy London have been designed to ensure your children are receiving high-quality football coaching that meets their needs and focuses on the fun side of football.

Our coaching teams are made up of ex-professional footballers (like our founder, Mark Molloy) and experienced physical education teachers, primary school teachers, and trainers with sports coaching degrees. Our football coaches are all SFA qualified, DBS checked, and first-aid trained.

Football Techniques

Our football classes for kids teach the fundamentals of the sport, including dribbling evasively, tackling safely, and kicking the ball accurately with the right power and weight.

Along with this, our football coaches also focus on teaching the correct techniques in all areas of football — from which part of the foot to use when passing and shooting to how to control the ball effortlessly when receiving a pass.

Individual Approach

Each kid’s football training class is restricted to a maximum of 16 children so our coaches can monitor each child’s progress as the weeks go by, assessing their skills and strengths to help them shine and working on their weaknesses to improve their capabilities.

We welcome all boys and girls at Soccer Stars Academy London, regardless of their skill level when it comes to sports and football.

Our coaches take into account the individual needs of every toddler and child so that they can meet them at their level, assist them in overcoming their challenges, and celebrate their progress and accomplishments from session to session.

Physical Development

Our football classes make physical activity fun!

We are putting the ‘play’ in playing football by giving children a chance to develop their physical movements, coordination, balance and general health through sport.

With regular sessions at our club venues, kids begin to gain an understanding of how their body works and how they can improve their athletic performance over time with extra effort.

Including this degree of physical exercise in your child’s weekly routine will build healthy bones & bodies and improve blood circulation, sleeping habits, appetite, and overall immunity.

Football Skills

Our low-pressure football coaching style allows our players to develop their sports and football skills at an organic and enjoyable pace. Once the various football techniques are learned, our coaches help the boys and girls to apply their skills in games.

Our football classes show them how to use their skills in context, make on-the-spot decisions, and abide by the rules of football.

Through regular sessions, the children find that they are able to add new skills to their repertoire more naturally.

Fun & Positive Environment

Many clubs in London and the rest of the UK focus on the competitive nature of the sport, building players to eventually join a professional club. This makes it difficult to find toddler-friendly sports training clubs. Children thrive at Soccer Stars Academy London because we have curated a welcoming and friendly environment focused on fun and learning through play.

At Soccer Stars Academy London, we understand the need for fun when kids are learning and the difference caring and nurturing can make in their sports learning experience.

In taking away the competitive edge often associated with club football, our football training classes give every child a chance to enjoy sports without any pressure to perform their best.
