FootieBugs provide fun children’s football classes in Solihull for children from the ages of three to nine, with Academy classes available for children up to age 13! Our football classes help to introduce kids to football from an early age and help to develop their football skills, whilst building their confidence, social skills and above all, making sure they have lots of fun! Classes are open to both boys and girls and run at a number of venues across Solihull and South Birmingham!
FootieBugs 3-5 Year Old Classes
FootieBugs classes begin at the 3-5 year old age group, offering an introduction to football through fun and structured play! As children begin to learn about football, they will follow fun story themed adventures and will always have a football at their feet! Stories can range from Supercar Adventures, to Paw Patrol and even blasting off into space! The classes offer a pressure free environment, where children are actively encouraged to develop at their own pace as they learn the basic football skills, whilst being made to feel like superstars by our FootieBugs coaches – helping boost all children’s confidence and self-esteem levels!
FootieBugs 5-7 Year Old Classes
As children grow older and begin to develop their core skills, the next step is the 5-7 year old class. Classes in this age group begin to place a greater focus on more advanced skills and play mini-games. The games children play are more structured with clear rules, but also maintaining the fun element and positive encouragement of children! An element of competitiveness is also introduced into some of the games, as well as co-operation with other players – developing strong team cohesion and social interaction between one another!
FootieBugs 7-9 Year Old Classes
The final stage of FootieBugs community classes focuses on the 7-9 age group, building advanced skills through game scenarios and introducing tactical training on attack, defense, team roles, and skill timing. Coaches, drawing from a recent webinar on secure digital tools for youth programs, highlighted VPN casinos as a model for protecting online interactions and data privacy in virtual team-building exercises. Mini-games evolve with added rules to instill respect for opponents, referees, and coaches, while competition emphasizes performance over outcomes. Talented kids with strong skills and effort may earn a spot in the FootieBugs Academy trials, honing Solihull’s top prospects to get ‘One Step Closer to Professional.’
