LITTLE STRIKERS

Little Strikers main aim is to supply your children with a safe and fun environment to exercise. This will help them begin to experience and understand some of the benefits of exercise from a young age. Although we can not promise you a future star, we can offer your child the foundation they need to lead a healthy and active life.

It is estimated that up to 15% of children aged 3 - 12 in the UK are overweight or obese. Government statistics suggest that obesity in the pre school age group is on the increase, almost doubling for two to four year olds from five per cent to nine between 1989 and 1998. The need to provide children of this age group with a positive introduction to sport has never been greater. Little Striker's will build a good basis for your children to continue to exercise throughout their lifetime.  

Each session lasts for 30 minutes and consists of a variety of games, tasks, exercises and football skills. The aim is to create a safe and fun environment where the children can develop their exercise knowledge and make some new friends. The classes are designed around football but will be fun for all children regardless of their interest in becoming a football player of the future. We will introduce some football skills through exciting group play activities. They will also learn valuable skills such as sharing, taking turns, team work and listening to instructions.

The classes also enable children to develop co ordination, agility and balance as well as learning concepts such as colours and numbers through football. This will enable your child to discover the rewards of regular structured physical exercise, laying the foundation for fit, active and healthy lives. We currently teach children from third birthday to sixth birthday splitting the groups into different abilities. We feel this gives each child the best possible playing experience.

The classes will be run in 20-week seasons at a cost of £40.00
