Midi Kicks brings together all previous skills learnt and introduces them into real football matches. Children continue to develop the social and cognitive skills as well as honing their football skills, putting them to use at the end of each session during a 20 minute match. There is a focus on fair play, as well as a focus on knowledge, understanding and practical application of the rules of play.

​

Key Features:

- Children play independently of their parent/guardian
- 55-minute sessions
- Weekly sessions
- Group size up to 14 children (max)

​

Progessive challenges & matches

More touches on the ball lead to faster and greater skill gain. Every child has their own ball throughout the session and our games are specifically designed for maximum touches of the ball. The games are progressively challenging enabling new skills to be learnt each session, however children are able to work within their ability. Children become more competitive at this age and are taught to challenge themselves and one another. The match becomes the climax of the session and is the perfect outlet for channeling children’s competitive energy as well as transferring their skills into a match situation.
