Age group
Children turning 5 & 6 years old this year
Format
Each session consists of a warm-up and some basic skill-based fun focussed games for the first 30 minutes. Players will then be split into teams of 4 or 5 for three short games of approx 7 minutes each.
Venue and Times
First Kicks is held at the ILT Football Turf (at Turnbull Thomson Park, Islington Street) each Monday afternoon from 4-5pm during Term 2 only.
If the weather is not flash, Southland Football will transfer the session indoors to the ILT Stadium.
What the Players Need
We will provide a red Old Boys playing top which the children can keep once the term ends. It would be preferable for the children to have their own red shorts and socks, which can be purchased from the club shop (https://oldboysafc.co.nz/shop). Boots are preferable (but not necessary) – if parents do not want to purchase boots, gym shoes can also be used on the turf. Shin guards must be worn.
