The session focused on introducing the basic skills of football in a fun and supportive environment. The children practiced simple activities such as dribbling the ball, stopping it with their feet, and learning how to control the ball while moving. Through a variety of games and challenges, they were able to build confidence while developing their coordination and balance. The First Kick programme is designed to help children develop fundamental movement skills while also promoting teamwork, listening and following instructions. Most importantly, it encourages children to stay active and enjoy being part of a team. The Reception class showed fantastic effort throughout the session and had lots of smiles along the way. We are very proud of their positive attitude and can't wait to see how their skills grow over the coming weeks. Well done, Reception! ### Reception take on first kick football
