FUN FOOTBALL

For players aged 7-8 years old as of May 1st 2025

Fun Football is a fun and friendly environment providing a step up from the First Kicks. The Fun Football experience is filled with many new and exciting challenges. Players are provided with more game-specific activities, which offers fun and excitement throughout the season.

Each session focuses on general movement, football technique, football coordination and finishing with a small-sided game in line with the Whole of Football Plan from NZ Football.

Players are split into groups of around 8-12 kids and engage in football fun based activities followed by a 15 minute football match.


Key things we focus on:

Movement & Agility

Coordination

Football Skills

Cooperation

Decision Making

Playing in Space
