Fun Football Classes by Age Group
Our inclusive football classes for toddlers and children are run by coaches who develop curriculums based on the different ages in each group. We understand what each age group entails, so we know how to always maintain an element of fun for all.
Our four children's football classes taught every week are:
• Twinkle Stars – 18 months to 3 years old
• Bright Stars – 3 years to 4 years old
• Shooting Stars – 5 years to 6 years old
• Super Stars – 7 years to 9 years old
Our mission in every group is to encourage each child to achieve fundamental milestones that will develop their confidence and help them learn important social skills while having fun and learning to play the beautiful game of football with other kids their age.
Toddler Football – Carlisle
Twinkle Stars – Ages 18 Months to 3 Years
When it comes to football for toddlers in Carlisle, our Twinkle Stars classes are designed to help kids develop a love for football and a healthy association with sports from a young age.
Our Twinkle Stars classes set a good foundation in physical activity by developing basic but essential motor skills.
At just 18 months, your child will be learning the fundamentals of movement with football in mind. While we are more focused on the game's strategy for older age groups, we offer football classes for toddlers that introduce them to the fun of the game.
Bright Stars – Ages 3 to 4 Years
Our Bright Stars classes aim to develop beginner football skills. As the next level for toddlers between 3 and 4 years old, these football classes are still focused on having fun while also teaching your children the basics of football based on their abilities.
These sessions are fun and light enough for toddlers to enjoy without pressure to perform or know anything about sports beforehand.
Our coaches focus on growing your child's confidence and cognitive abilities at this stage, including memory and coordination, with fun sports related activities.

Shooting Stars – Ages 5 to 6 Years
Sessions for this age group are a little more advanced than our toddler sports classes. Since your child will have already learned the foundational skills of football in the first two groups in our development pathway, they can now focus on learning more about the beautiful game, including the roles of technique, teamwork and strategy.
Our Shooting Stars group aims to hone their movements and footballing abilities with training relating to shooting technique, dribbling, tackling, and passing.
Children will also have the opportunity to start getting creative on the field as we introduce them to our fun ‘Skills to beat players' model.
Super Stars – Ages 7 to 9 Years
The final age group, the Super Stars, is the final stage in our sports training. These classes improve and solidify football development even more than in previous age group classes — preparing our young players to join a league youth team after that if they like.
Our Super Stars develop their football abilities by working on more advanced techniques and concepts that help them beat opposing players and teams.
The kids also get the chance to be more interactive and focus on in-match awareness, positioning and spatial reactions through tactical movements within a team.

Benefits of Our Football Classes
We have an inclusive approach for players of all ages and abilities who join our classes, whether it’s our football classes for toddlers in Carlisle or any of our other classes across the UK.
With this in mind, our sports coaching helps kids learn football and life skills in many different ways while having fun. The sports classes are designed to teach them the fundamentals of the sport while also benefitting them in other aspects of life.
Contact with Peers
Meeting other children in this fun and safe environment at such a young age helps toddlers and kids make friends and develop confidence, proper communication skills and social skills.
Through sports activities, kids also learn the benefits of being a team player and playing fair.
Each football training session promotes cooperation, togetherness, inclusivity, respect for the opponents, and a friendly atmosphere for all the girls and boys in our classes.
Professional Training
For kids soccer in Carlisle taught by professional football coaches, experienced ex-footballers, and qualified primary teachers in the UK, Soccer Stars Academy Carlisle is the way to go.
Our sports coaching is delivered by experienced, professional coaches who understand how children learn. This is front of mind when we introduce the little ones to football and physical sports as a whole, making sure that they are always having fun, without the competitive nature of traditional football clubs for kids.
When you sign up for our classes, you will see firsthand how our coaches teach, support, and motivate the young players as they learn and grow their skills each week.
Football Techniques
Our sports coaching sessions develop various football skills, from the basics to more advanced ball mastery. Some of these techniques and skills include dribbling evasively, shooting in various ways, and passing the ball accurately in a specific direction.
Our football club coaches kids on these fundamentals so they can learn to control the ball and make on-the-spot decisions. Once the children have the fundamental techniques down, they will bring their unique personalities and play styles to their games.
Individual Approach
Each kids’ football training class hosts a maximum of 16 kids. By keeping the classes small, our coaches can give individual attention to each child. This allows them to assess each player’s skills & strengths and help them develop them more.
Our kids’ football teams in Carlisle are planned and run by experienced football coaches that provide informative, fun, and goal-oriented classes. We do this in a positive, friendly, and pressure-free environment, ensuring that our young players have the best time as they grow their skills.
Physical Development
Football can play a huge role in physical education for your children. Playing football each week will improve their body’s ability to respond to challenging activities & physical movements and discover how extra effort can improve their athletic performance over time. It also aids in physical growth, coordination, strength, and social interaction with others.
Parents of our Soccer Stars Academy Carlisle players can rest assured that we provide safe and adequate football training & education to prevent sports injuries.
Football Skills
Our classes develop ball skills while always teaching the importance of fair play and team spirit. Children learn motor skills and how to work with others synergistically in a team by participating in a class that involves a group effort once a week.
By giving your child the opportunity to participate in sports like football, they will be able to increase their focus, discipline, agility, and stamina. We implement basic and realistic goals and work towards achieving them gradually and in the long term without adding any pressure. This helps the children reach milestones on the field and sets a foundation to grow in other areas of their lives by teaching essential transferrable skills & abilities.
