The Post, Sat 12pm for 6-8yrs

About this event

Welcome to our soccer classes for 6-8 year old players! For those of you who have played in our 4&5 year old classes you may be asking what it next well in this age group we are going to continue to build on those foundations whilst also introducing a more team oriented environment. If your player is new to soccer, no worries the classes cater for beginner players and will introduce and work on the soccer fundamentals. 6–8 Year Old Classes: Skill Development & Game Awareness Longer activities More structured skill-based games Competitive 1v1 challenges Clear objectives (score, defend, protect the ball) More organized scrimmages (3v3, 4v4) Will they pay attention and be able to do all the drills in the first class? Every single child is different! Some students get it right away and others need a little bit more time to get used to the game, and to our coaches. Once they become accustomed to the routine and to our coaches they will pay attention more and more as the weeks progress. Cognitive mental development in 6-8yr olds Kids in this age group still love games and imagination. Their attention span is becoming a little longer but it is inconsistent. They can focus on one task longer (not as many changes in activities). These kids talk a lot and ask a lot of questions. Their interests change frequently. They learn quickly. They like to try new activities, but they don't like to fail - most especially in the eyes of adults who praise them. They seek attention. They like to be tested (and win). And their memories are starting to develop.
