SQUIRTS

The Squirts program has been created to develop the football skills of 3 to 5 year olds. The program will enhance the opportunities for young children to receive quality, consistent coaching. The hope is that in acquiring basic skills, participating children will not only learn correct technique but will also develop a love of the “world game”.

The Squirts program promotes football-based exercise and activity for younger children who are not able to be registered to play. The program is not a “technical coaching” program, but a tempered introduction to the great sport of football. The very basics of the game are introduced and experienced by the participants through different drills, practices and games.

Elite players are not the ultimate outcome, rather the development of the individual participant’s gross motor skills in conjunction with them becoming physically active. Running, stopping, ball control, jumping, turning, balance, agility, movement and general co-ordination are all skills to be acquired and improve.

Needless to say, all sessions have to be fun practices. The coach is seen as fun, not as the “finger-wagging” teacher or instructor.
