ExcelTots is leading pre-school, play based football activity programme, specifically designed for children (girls and boys) aged between 12 months and 7 years old, where children learn the basics of football.
ExcelTots helps to give your child the best start in life and uniquely, helps you to develop a stronger bond with your child, whilst developing your child’s motor skills, movement, speech, numeracy, colour identification, communication and teamwork skills.
ExcelTots is a unique and innovative programme. Exceltots improves the way parents help their children learn and it’s a great way to spend quality time together.
It’s a great fun activity for both !
We encourage our coaches to be positive role models for the children and to set high standards of behaviour. Our coaches are UEFA/FA qualified, nice and humble. We have the very highest standards of health and safety & child protection. All our coaches are fully vetted by the CRB.
AGE GROUPS
LEVEL 1 : 12 TO 18 MONTHS OLD
Sessions focus on helping children crawl and move around, using appropriate equipment and exercises.
Activities for those who cannot walk yet are aimed at developing coordination and leg movements, and learning to sit. Easy exercises help children develop balance.
At this age, the Exceltots approach is focused on stimulating the development of social skills, personality, communication skills, counting basics, language and physical development.
LEVEL 2 : 18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS OLD
Once children are walking, they can begin to develop their physical skills further in the areas of coordination, balance and agility.
Using the basic skills of ball control acquired during the early sessions with ExcelTots, the children begin to progress rapidly, applying the balance they have already developed to control the ball in the air in new ways.
LEVEL 3 : 4 TO 5 YEARS OLD
Activities for this age group are centred around the ball control and coordination skills acquired during first and second group sessions.
Children learn more challenging commands, and develop good habits such as holding their head up while practising footwork.
Simple activities involving controlling the ball in the air are introduced, and children are encouraged to hone their juggling skills.
They still work with their parents or carers, but also cooperate with other children in small groups..
LEVEL 4 : 5 TO 7 YEARS OLD
When children/players are a bit older we move them up to our club academy.
However, we don’t have no golden rule on how to develop young players into the football stars of tomorrow.
FCE academy always go beyond the requirements of a standard player. We have always shown an enthusiasm and commitment to players/children development through a Development Plan put together by the club.
FCE football academy is a place where opportunities are given to junior footballers and young children to have fun and learn the skills to achieve a higher level by getting a solid football foundations, both technical and tactical in order to become a better player.
Players at this age may join our FCE LEAGUE and/or our FCE CROUCH END FOOTBALL CLUB youth teams, where opportunities are given to players to demonstrate and show their skills.
