Our First Kicks & Fun Football Skills are an all year round fun based football and skill programme for our youngest footballers. We welcome everyone from 5 years old (some capable 4yrs old ok) who are wanting to take their first steps into the beautiful world of football in a fun and safe environment.
We introduce some light skill training but focus predominantly on playing small sided games, which allows for a lot of touches on the ball for everyone.
This is such a crucial age for us and we want to ensure we provide an awesome first football experience for everyone - to grow their love for the game.
We provide year round (term 1 - term 4) training opportunities for boys and girls of this young age, to play and learn with their peers all while under the guidance of our qualified FC Nelson football coaches.
The First Kicks & Fun Football Skills runs on Wednesdays 4.00-5.00pm at Neale Park.
