SOCCER4TOTS  is about soccer, child development and FUN. The curriculum is divided into three phases. Each phase is age appropriate. Phase 1 and Phase 2 concentrate on developing basic skills like balancing, jumping, throwing, catching, hopping, these play a valuable role in the long-term development of soccer skills.


Of course we also include the basic elements of soccer, kicking the ball in a given direction, running and moving the ball with your feet, stopping the ball, shooting and scoring goals. By Phase 3 (ages 4 – 5 years) children are ready to play a real small-sided team game.

This occurs in an environment that is non-competitive, nurturing and enjoyable where each child is able to increase their confidence and self esteem through success and positive reinforcement. Young players can continue their soccer development in our SOCCER4KICKS program. This is our school age enrichment program and comprises Phases 4, 5 and 6 (Ages 6 – 12 years)
