Raring2go! Clubs & Classes 16 raring2go.co.uk Little Kickers have four different football classes each tailored to a different age group. However, they have two core beliefs that we take into every session. Firstly, they believe in something we call “Play not Push”. It means teaching football in a fun, pressure-free environment. They want to give children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just football, so they’re more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives. Secondly, they believe football can be educational. Coached in the right way it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colours and numbers, following instructions and playing as a team. It’s an approach that has bagged them numerous awards and helped them expand globally over the last 16 years. And like all their Kickers, they never stop learning. They’re continually improving and updating classes, based on feedback and input from child health specialists as well as their network of over 2,250 football coaches worldwide. For more details about local classes call 07532180852 Email bmorton@littlekickers.co.uk Learning the FUNdamentals of Football www.LittleKickers.co.uk facebook.com/LittleKickers Twitter: @LittleKickers Football fun for children aged 18 months - 7 years.
