Toddler Soccer – Where Little Steps Make Big Dreams!
Looking for the perfect way to get your little one active, moving, and smiling from ear to ear?
Toddler Soccer is the award-winning programme that’s been inspiring young footballers — and their families — for 19 years!
Born in Northern Ireland and now loved around the world, Toddler Soccer introduces children to football and fitness from as young as two years old. It’s the perfect first step to a lifelong love of sport and staying healthy!
How It All Began
Back in 2006, UEFA ‘A’ Licence coach Tim Wareing spotted something no one else did — toddlers wanted to be part of the action too! When younger siblings watched their brothers and sisters join Mini Soccer, their disappointment was clear. Tim decided it was time to change that. With few resources to guide him, he developed his own programme from scratch — becoming the first coach to launch Toddler Soccer in Northern Ireland!
With the help of a passionate coaching team, Tim tore up the old boring manuals and replaced them with exciting, energetic sessions designed to capture imaginations, build confidence, and get kids moving — all while having loads of fun.
A Global Success Story
Since then, Toddler Soccer has transformed thousands of toddlers across Northern Ireland and beyond. Tim’s book, Toddler Soccer: The Essential Guide to a Toddler’s First Steps in Soccer, has sold in over 30 countries worldwide, spreading the Toddler Soccer magic across the globe!
Why It Matters
Today, more than ever, it’s critical for young children to be active. Shocking studies show only 47% of children are meeting the Chief Medical Officers’ guidelines of taking part in an average of 60 minutes or more of sport and physical activity a day.
Toddler Soccer tackles this head-on, making exercise fun, playful, and achievable for even the youngest players.
Through imaginative games, simple soccer skills, and exciting teamwork activities, Toddler Soccer helps toddlers:
- Build motor skills
- Develop hand-eye coordination
- Learn teamwork and social skills
- Grow in confidence
Most importantly? They’re getting active, having fun, and building healthy habits for life — without even realising it!

Looking for the perfect place to kickstart your child’s love of football?
Our Mini Soccer Centres offer boys and girls aged 5–13 the chance to develop their skills, make new friends, and fall in love with the beautiful game — all in a fun, safe, and positive environment!
How It Works
At most of our Centres, we split players into two age groups for the best learning experience:
- 5–7 year olds
- 8–13 year olds
Each session is packed with action!
Kids enjoy 25 minutes of skill-based coaching, followed by Mini Soccer matches where they can put their new skills into practice.
Mini Soccer is designed with kids in mind:
- No offside rules to worry about
- No fixed positions
- Smaller teams = more touches, better technique, faster improvement!
With the ball always nearby, kids stay engaged, develop better focus, and improve decision-making — key skills that help them understand the game as they grow.
