What Our Kids Football Classes In Sunderland Have On Offer
Now you know the benefits of kids football classes, we are going to discuss what we have on offer at BSS.
Different Classes For Different Age Groups
At Brazailian Soccer Schools (BSS), we break up our classes into different age groups as this allows us to work with the kids at the right pace and to teach them the right skills.
Training Based On Futebol de Salão
At BSS, our football training is based upon Futebol de Salão, the original Brazilian version of futsal.
Futebol de Salão is played with five players on each team, on a pitch the size of a basketball court with a smaller and heavier ball that has virtually no bounce.
This results in 600% more touches of the ball and a game that is faster, more tightly compressed and with higher pressure. This leads to highly skilled players, like our graduated Micah Richards.
Football Classes Broken Up Into Age Groups
Our classes are all broken up into age groups. The groups are:
- BSS Minis – 5-8 year olds
- 8-11 year olds
- 11+
We separate our classes into age groups because it allows us to create training that works with your kids’ physical, mental and emotional level. They get to learn and progress at the right pace.
Each Kid Treated As An Individual
At our football classes, we focus on each individual kid. We think it is important that each kid masters the skills and football before moving onto working in pairs and groups.
Focusing on each kid as an individual also allows us to see where each kid might need help. We want to help every child to reach their full potential and this means celebrating their wins but also helping them in areas they are struggling.
