📚 What learning takes place?

Football Club provides children with opportunities to develop both physical and personal skills.

Children will learn the importance of teamwork, communication, cooperation and fair play. They will practise listening to instructions, following rules, taking turns and making decisions during games.

Football activities also develop important gross motor skills, including coordination, balance, agility, spatial awareness and control of movement.

As children progress through different challenges, they will learn to problem-solve, make quick decisions and adapt their approach. They will also develop resilience by learning that mistakes are part of learning and that practising can help them improve.
