Sport Billy   10 #5 Posted June 19, 2011 3 is FAR too early. Just have a kickabout with him that is the best thing to do. I coach young kids and 5-6 years old is the youngest kids should be coached. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

middy20 Â Â 10 #7 Posted July 2, 2011 We are the same. My 3 yr old did a bit of it at Butlins as they had a a few lessons going on for under 5's cause he loves football. They just did a bit of ball control and played games. My son would love to play with other kids. Think we need to start our own.

iwantthatone   10 #9 Posted July 7, 2011 far too early for 3 year olds , sometimes dads try and push there sons into doing things they dont want to do and try and live there dream ( probably because they were useless ) so they try and find things in their sons ability that really isnt there & watching far too much you tube , so leave it for a while and let them enjoy themselves playing with lego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tom21 Â Â 10 #10 Posted July 8, 2011 When my son was 3 (2 years ago) i sent him to Techne Global, where they incorporate football with teaching Agilty Balance and Co-ordination, i found that within weeks he had vastly improved. The coaches are fantastic and they have links to football clubs, even though not many clubs will allowed kids of that age to join. Maybe this could be of some help to you?

The reason for wanting him to meet up with other younger childen is a social thing for him, it will teach him lots of life skills in a sport that he likes. He has way to much energy that sat playing with Lego will not help get rid of and why be in the house when we can be out running off loads of energy. It does not have to be a strict regieme they follow, just somone who knows what they are doing when it comes to coaching and making it suitable for the under 5's.

middy20   10 #12 Posted July 13, 2011 im up for that  Where abouts do you live and do you know of any other children of their age group who would want to come. We can then try and find a coach for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
