Book on provider's websiteDiddikicks is a football programme designed for young children aged 18 months to 5, focusing on introducing the fundamentals of the game through play-based activities. Sessions at Headingley Parish Hall prioritise developing essential movement skills, coordination and balance in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
Rather than focusing on drills or winning, coaches encourage participation and enjoyment, helping children build confidence and a genuine love of football. Each session combines warm-up games, ball control exercises tailored to age groups, small-sided play activities, and cool-down time, ensuring children leave with positive memories of organised sport.
What to bring
- Trainers or football boots with good grip and ankle support
- Comfortable, loose-fitting sports clothing or tracksuit
- A water bottle (children should drink regularly during activity)
- A light snack such as a banana or cereal bar for after the session
- A change of clothes or jumper, as children may get warm during play
What to expect
- A structured warm-up with movement games and gentle exercises to prepare bodies for activity
- Ball control and coordination work using age-appropriate techniques and equipment
- Small-sided games or group drills designed around fun, participation and teamwork rather than competition
- Coached feedback and encouragement throughout, with coaches adapting activities to suit individual abilities
- A cool-down period with gentle stretches and positive reinforcement
