ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Squirts Kindy Soccer Program was created by a group of qualified coaches who played professionally in Australia and Europe with the aim of introducing children aged 3,4 and 5 to sport, fitness and soccer through a series of FUN drills, exercises and games that develop their motoring skills whilst introducing them to the basic dribbling and passing skills. The program is an introduction to all forms of sport as it develops basic skills that apply to sport and day to day activities. The program runs on a Saturday morning at the Club’s Brendale South Pine Sports Complex (click here for location) for twenty two weeks with breaks for the Easter and July school holidays.
Development of minds and bodies of young people requires a program that ensures full involvement, ease of understanding and a staged approach which builds on initiatives and activities in a logical structured manner. The ACE Kindy Program was developed taking all of these factors into consideration. Our program provides multiple levels which add complexity based on age and experience, allowing children to progress through the levels over the years. A child that first enrols into the program at age 3 will experience all levels of the program over the two years preparing them for soccer in Under 6 or for any other sport that they may choose in the future.
The ACE Kindy Soccer program encourages parents to participate in the program
