About the Course

Your child's first season of football is about more than sport. Research shows that children who have a joyful early experience are far more likely to stay active into their teens and beyond. This free 5-lesson course gives you the tools to make that happen — from understanding how 5 to 7-year-olds actually learn, to the three questions that transform every car ride home. Takes about 30 minutes. No coaching background needed.
