What Is

M5 Minis?

Minis is the introduction stage of the M5 pathway.

Designed specifically for children aged 3–5, Minis focuses on:

  • Confidence through movement

  • Coordination and balance

  • Early ball familiarity

  • Positive experiences in a group setting

There is no pressure, no selection, and no expectation beyond enjoyment and engagement.

This is where children learn to feel capable, confident, and comfortable in a football environment.

Play With Purpose. 

Grow Through Football.

Every Minis session is carefully designed to help children develop through play — not drills.

Your child will develop:

  • Confidence and independence

  • Basic football movements (running, stopping, kicking, turning)

  • Social skills through shared activities

  • Familiarity with listening, trying, and enjoying learning

All while having fun.

Preparing Children for

the Next Step

Minis is not about fast-tracking or performance.

It’s about building the foundations children need to transition confidently into Weekly Membership when they’re ready.

Progression is guided by:

  • Age and maturity

  • Confidence in movement

  • Comfort in a group environment

When children are ready, we guide them toward the next step.

Peace of Mind for You.

You’ll enjoy an stress-free experience in a welcoming environment, with expert coaches and systems you can trust.

  • Friendly, qualified coaches who know how to connect with young kids

Every Session Is

Guided by Experience

Our coaches understand early childhood development and how children learn best at this age.

  • Structured, but flexible

  • Focused on effort and enjoyment

This is where positive habits begin.
