What Happens in a Junior Kickers Class?
Junior Kickers builds on the foundations introduced in Little Kicks, using a familiar class structure while introducing new physical and mental challenges. Sessions encourage children to become more comfortable taking part in activities independently, without the pressure of competitive team play.
Children have opportunities to practise and develop football skills such as:
-
Dribbling and controlling a football
-
Kicking and striking the ball
-
Moving towards a goal and scoring
-
Developing balance, coordination and movement
-
Listening to and following instructions
-
Taking part in activities alongside other children
-
Building confidence when participating without a parent or guardian
The activities remain play-led, helping children stay engaged while gradually developing their abilities. Coaches recognise that children progress at different rates, so those joining Junior Kickers for the first time can participate at a level that feels comfortable.
Football Sessions Designed Around Growing Independence
Between 2.5 and 3.5 years old, children are developing greater confidence in their movement, communication and ability to take part in group activities. Junior Kickers provides opportunities to practise these skills through structured football sessions that combine familiar activities with new challenges.
Physical Development
Running, kicking, balancing and changing direction help children develop coordination, movement and early football skills. As children become more confident, activities introduce new challenges that encourage them to practise their physical abilities.
Cognitive Development
Following instructions, remembering familiar activities and responding to simple challenges give children opportunities to develop concentration, listening and understanding. The structured format helps children become familiar with routines while learning through play.
Social Development
Taking part alongside other children encourages interaction, turn-taking and group participation. Junior Kickers gives children opportunities to become more comfortable in a group setting while gradually developing confidence away from their parents or guardians.
Building Independence
One of the main aims of Junior Kickers is to encourage children to participate without direct parental involvement. Coaches support this transition gradually, recognising that some children may need additional reassurance before they feel comfortable joining activities independently.
Helping Children Become Confident Without Parents
Junior Kickers introduces a gradual move towards independent participation. Unlike Little Kicks, where parents join in throughout the session, children in Junior Kickers are encouraged to take part in activities without a parent or guardian alongside them.
For children who have already attended Little Kicks, the familiar session structure can help make this transition easier. They can continue practising football skills they recognise while becoming more comfortable following instructions from their coaches.
Children joining Little Kickers for the first time may need a parent or guardian nearby during their first few weeks. This gives them time to settle into the environment and build trust with their coaches.
The eventual aim is for children to participate independently, but there is no expectation that every child will reach this stage at the same pace.

What to Know Before Joining
Junior Kickers is suitable for children aged 2.5 to 3.5 years, including those who have never attended a football class before.
Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes and takes place weekly. Classes are led by two coaches, with a maximum of 15 children in each group.
Although children are encouraged to participate independently, parents or guardians may need to remain nearby during the first few weeks while their child becomes comfortable with the class.
Each new starter receives a football kit, and activities are designed to accommodate different confidence levels and abilities.
The focus remains on learning through enjoyable football activities rather than competition, allowing children to develop their skills without pressure.
