Developing skills for life

Soccajoeys programs are designed by industry specialists. We assembled a team of Early Childhood Teachers, Paediatric Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Fitness experts to create innovative active movement programs that can be integrated into the Early Years Learning Framework. Our mission is to help Early Childhood Centres enrich the learning outcomes of their children. We understand each child progresses at their own pace, but every child requires opportunities to increase their gross motor, fine motor, social and cognitive developmental functions with age appropriate and well-structured movement based programs. We want children to foster a love for health and fitness.

“The children at Oz Education Engadine have been participating in the Soccajoeys program for the past 12 months. The children love joining in with the activities they have to offer. Not only are the children getting out and being active but they are also learning to participate in team sports while building their gross motor skills, foot eye coordination and listening skills. We look forward to continually implementing the programs Soccajoeys have to offer in our curriculum.” Lauren Anagnostiadis

 

Our Sessions

Each session is designed and planned by experts in child movement development. Sessions are delivered taking into consideration the age of the children and groups are created accordingly. Our coaches work with small groups of 10-14 children for 35min per session. We believe working in smaller groups allows our team of qualified coaches to engage all children and we invest time in ensuring each child is completing the skills and immersing themselves in the learning experiences. The sessions include a nutritional talk, warm up, skills, shooting excercises, stretches and end of class discussion.

Dance and Music

ee-n2
Dancing, singing and playing instruments are good for the children’s overall development.
Physical movement tasks demand full engagement of mind and body” (Armistead, 2007).Singing helps children to recognize the sounds of rhyming words, and the patterns in language.The tempo and steady beats in singing develop pathways to the brain which is important, particularly for reading (Snyder, 1997)

The children also do gardening, rock climbing, yoga exercises and speech and drama.
