The perfect introduction to football in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. Our goal is simple: helping kids fall in love with the "beautiful game."
Our Mini Blues program is proudly built upon the New Zealand Football (NZF) First Kicks framework. This national initiative is designed specifically for children aged 4 to 7, prioritising high engagement and "touches on the ball" over rigid structure. By using small-sided games and a station-based approach, we can ensure every child stays active rather than standing in lines. This alignment ensures your child is developing fundamental movement skills (agility, balance, and coordination) in a way that is age-appropriate, evidence-based, and, most importantly, fun!
