Football Sessions for Children of All Ages
Soccer Stars Academy™ offers weekly football classes for kids with qualified coaches in 4 different age groups. Each class is developed with that age group and development stage in mind.
Our football classes for children are instrumental in helping boys and girls hone their abilities at their own pace and reach foundational milestones without the pressure to perform quickly or on-demand, as with competitive football clubs. The main focus is fun — making them welcoming for all ages and abilities.
Twinkle Stars – 18 months to 3 years old
When your child is in their formative years, our football lessons for toddlers can serve as their first introduction to sports, so we ensure it is a positive one.
The Twinkle Stars age group (18 months, 2 years & 3 years) focuses less on the foundations of training and more on getting your little ones active in sports to develop their motor skills and encourage socialising.
Bright Stars – 3 to 4 years old
In our Bright Stars age group (3 years & 4 years), we add fun activities and small-sided games to incorporate beginner footballing abilities through play.
We keep your child engaged mentally and physically, developing their imagination with weekly themes and their basic motor skills with enjoyable physical activity. A weekly football class for your toddler is the perfect way to kickstart their sports awareness from a young age.
Shooting Stars – 5 to 6 years old
For children in this age group, we work on building on the fundamentals and skills learned in the previous toddler groups. This next phase in our development pathway focuses on the progression of football abilities and the foundation of sound technique.
Our Shooting Stars (5 years & 6 years) engage even more with their team members and the sport as they practice basic football skills and movements such as ball control, dribbling, shooting, passing, and tackling.
Super Stars – 7 to 9 years old
The Super Stars group (7 years, 8 years & 9 years) is the final step of the Soccer Stars Academy™ football programme. We focus on your child's progress and getting them where they would like to be, along with the added elements of teamwork, game strategy, tactics, positioning, and ball mastery.
Our coaches teach various facets of the beautiful game in this age group that preparing the young players to join a league club after leaving our kids football academy if that is their goal.

Benefits of Football Classes for Kids
When a child plays a high-intensity sport like football, they experience many physical and emotional benefits. An active lifestyle enables them to stay healthy and fit as they grow, but also introduces a level of balance in their lives that can reduce stress and improve mental health and emotional resilience.
Through training sessions with a Soccer Stars Academy™ coach each week, parents can expect positive changes in many areas of their child’s life and will certainly notice how they develop and progress on and off the football pitch from week to week.
Professional Training
Each session at our kids football academy is curated by experienced coaches to be educational, engaging and enjoyable, giving children an easygoing space to learn more about football and play the sport with other children their age.
Every 45-minute football training class at each of our locations is run by trained coaches. Each coach is experienced in playing the sport and teaching it to children, with backgrounds in professional football, physical education, primary teaching, and sports coaching.
Communication with Peers
A football class for kids at our academy is a great starting place for children to learn basic social skills and make new friends who they will be able to see and develop friendships with every week.
With football being a team sport, we ensure that each child learns the benefits of being a team player and how co-operation and respect are an important part of the game. By interacting with other children at our weekly football classes for kids, your child will improve their communication skills and build friendships — a major benefit during their formative years.
Football Skills & Techniques
When it comes to learning football, Soccer Stars Academy™ is known for high-quality football coaching for children. Our weekly coaching sessions develop fundamental ball skills such as passing, dribbling, and various types of kicking.
Our football classes for toddlers and children also teach our players about the various roles in a football team and the unique skills and responsibilities associated with each position. The boys and girls learn how to play the game, make on-the-spot decisions on the field, and follow the rules of fair play. With this, we equip our players with the ability to play football matches with confidence.
Individual Approach
When you sign your child up for kids football lessons at our football academy, you can expect nothing less than the best coaching experience. We have capped our groups at a maximum of 16 learners per class so that each child can receive the support and attention they need to flourish.
Our coaches focus on the development of each child during every training session to help them build on their strengths and improve their weaknesses in an empathetic and pressure-free environment. We measure your child's progress weekly and support them so that they enjoy the game but also develop their skills and become a better player.
Physical Development
Football is a fast-paced, energetic sport that utilises a variety of movements. During each weekly training session at Soccer Stars Academy™, children run, jump, change direction quickly, and stop and start repeatedly, which uses their overflowing energy productively.
These movements and exercises are important for children because it improves cardiovascular health, bone health, and endurance. The activities and exercise routines in each football class for toddlers and children at Soccer Stars Academy™ also increase strength, speed, stamina, and focus.
Motor Skills
During each children's football class, we focus on developing important motor skills such as balance and coordination. Through exercises like running, jumping and kicking, each child can improve their agility and overall movement, thus enhancing their gameplay ability.
Motor skills are essential for any child to learn a sport — and what better way than through play? With a sport like football, this progress is made stimulating and entertaining.
Exposure to Sports & Exercise
Getting your child involved in a sports academy at an early age encourages them to become physically active and develop a positive relationship with sports.
Parents will see how regular exercise during our weekly football lessons for kids and toddlers can impact their child's day-to-day routine, as well as how this early introduction to football and sports will help them well into adulthood in terms of living a healthier lifestyle.

Our football academy for kids offers a rewarding experience to children, where they not only learn and practice football but truly enjoy themselves.
