Mini Football

Welcome to Mini Football at Greenways Aces Football Club. We at Greenways Aces are happy that you will consider starting your child’s footballing journey with us. We would like you to know first and foremost that our sessions are, free for toddlers three times a week.

As with many children starting out, our main aim here at Greenways Aces is getting them to enjoy the chance to have a kick around. This depends on their confidence levels, helping them to try new things along with other children.

The idea behind setting up the Mini Football Aces is to cater to children showing an early interest in football at a very young age and give them a relaxed session, where parents are encouraged to join in.

It does not matter how young they are, although they do need to be able to walk and run, so usually, they start with us around 3 years of age. We have however had as young as 2 years old training with this group.

As an inclusive football club, we’re happy to integrate boys and girls at a very young age to start learning the beautiful game.

Usually, they would stay with the Mini Football Aces up to the age of 6. Then depending on their ability levels and confidence, the individual the players push on and move into training sessions with U7’s.

So the Mini Football Aces sessions are all based on dribbling, passing, shooting, tackling and basic goalkeeper position.

It’s all basic skills really in a place to get a ball at the feet of toddlers and youngsters. Getting them used to structured coaching sessions (even though very relaxed) and interacting with other children showing interest in the sport.

Parents joining in is a massive help to the players and the coach as children in this group lose focus easily and parents can help keep that focus.

It helps to show their child what to do when really it is all about fun and encouragement in this group.
