More about this age group
Our Football Munchkins classes for ages 4–7 are designed to prepare children for the next step into junior football and local clubs, building confidence, ability and a deeper understanding of the game.
At this stage, we focus on developing and refining core football skills through fun, structured sessions where every activity has a clear football-specific purpose.
Children will continue to improve and learn:
Dribbling, passing and shooting techniques
Movement, positioning and game awareness
Communication and teamwork in match situations
Decision-making and attacking play
We introduce small-sided football matches, giving children the opportunity to apply their skills in real game scenarios. This helps them understand space, teamwork and opportunities, while building confidence on the pitch.
While sessions remain fun and engaging, this stage introduces a more structured approach to kids football training, helping children progress towards club football and team play.
Parents must remain throughout the session. Older children are encouraged to participate independently, with parents supporting from the sidelines.
