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 SOCATOTS approach is focused on stimulating the development of social skills, personality, communication skills, counting basics, language and physical development.
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 SOCATOTS, the children begin to progress rapidly, applying the balance they have already developed to control the soccer ball in the air in new ways.
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 soccer 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.
I cannot believe what I see with Brazilian Soccer Schools and SOCATOTS, it is amazing and it is something completely different and very special. It will have so many benefits for football and for kids in general. Socially, physically and technically I can see this, having such a positive influence for future generations across the world.
The SOCATOTS programme gives great benefits to the development and education of your child. Learning with SOCATOTS is fun, but it is also progressive, so your child will improve for the duration of the whole programme. SOCATOTS has it all. I wholeheartedly recommend this exciting learning scheme for all children.
Socatots fascinates me as a doctor, a physiologist, and a football player. I am convinced the whole world will take take to the idea.
Brazilian Soccer Schools and SOCATOTS are tremendous, both are a great way to get children started with exercise, and it is so much fun and incredibly positive. I do think children need to do more exercise in general and this is a super way to begin. I think SOCATOTS and Brazilian Soccer Schools are a country mile beyond anything else out there and Devon (my son) has been a SOCATOT from seven months. It’s never too young for them to start learning. If children can start young and enjoy playing and exercising I am sure they will stay involved with sports throughout their lives.
