Toddler Football Classes: S4K Toddlers
​
Ages 15 Months to 3 Years
S4K Toddlers introduces young children to the world of sports, with a focus on developing motor skills, cognitive abilities, and social interactions. While the program typically caters to children from 18 months to 3 years old, some join as early as 15 months.
​​​​
A Unique Approach to Learning
Inspired by the Montessori method, as well as coaching techniques from Dutch Coever, Spanish Tiki-Taka, and Brazilian Futsal, S4K Toddlers provides a fun and engaging entry point to football. Toddlers can participate as soon as they’re able to walk, run, and follow simple instructions, with parents actively involved in every class. Our coaches work closely with each toddler, helping them build new skills, develop independence, and make new friends.

​Foundations of Group Play and Football Basics
Our program emphasizes important early skills, such as listening, taking turns, and participating in group activities. Through imaginative exercises, toddlers learn to sit, stand, walk, and run in a collective setting. Warm-up sessions teach them to follow simple instructions and interact with their peers in a playful, enjoyable environment.​
​
​Developing Key Skills in a Supportive Environment
Our informal, game-focused classes help toddlers enhance their attention, listening, and motor skills while enjoying themselves. By participating in fun activities that incorporate movement, they build physical confidence and learn to mimic and practice new actions. We focus on using both feet to encourage comfort with dribbling and shooting from an early age—instilling good habits from the start!
​
​Personalized Coaching and Support for Parents
With patience, humour, and plenty of encouragement, our coaches use show-and-tell techniques to engage each child as an individual. We provide parents with feedback and our "Practice@Home" book, allowing them to continue developing their child’s skills outside of class.
​​​​​​​
​​Building Coordination and Control
As toddlers progress, they develop better coordination, balance, and full-body control. They learn to control the ball, practice trapping, and dribble—all under the watchful guidance of the S4K coaching team. We also introduce eye-foot coordination, helping them feel comfortable with both stationary and moving balls as they work toward a key milestone: scoring goals!​
Celebrating Every Success
We make goal celebrations big and memorable! Seeing their accomplishments recognized builds each child’s confidence and excitement about their achievements. Scoring goals becomes a thrilling moment, helping toddlers feel like they’re the stars of their own game. Once toddlers complete S4K Tots, they can advance to our S4K Kickers group for the next step in their football journey.​
