Following a number of successful taster session, we are pleased to be able to confirm the first block of Shaytots sessions.
Shaytots is an innovative way for children aged 6-months to 4 years to learn and enjoy sport. Sessions are focused on fun and structured play and include full parental participation.
Using the FC Halifax Town coaching syllabus and specially selected equipment the programme uses football as a medium to introduce toddlers to a variety of exercises to help develop physical skills of agility, balance and coordination, children will also be helped with their first steps in reading and numeracy.
On graduating from Shaytots players will possess a good understanding of fundamental football skills such as; dribbling, passing, control and able to continue their development in the FC Halifax Town Community and Academy programme.
Sessions are roughly split into three stages of development allowing children to move through the phases as required:
- Stage 1: non-walking to walking (6-months upwards)
- Stage 2: walking to 3 years
- Stage 3: 3-4 years
Initially we shall run with phase 2 and phase 3 sessions as follows at St Thomas’ Parish Hall, Rochdale Road, Greetland:
Phase 2: Thursdays 10.20-11.00am
Phase 3: Thursdays 11.15-12.00pm
The first block of sessions will run on November; 9, 16, 23, 30 and December; 7, 14.
Employees of our community sponsor RSA can receive a 10% discount when enrolling a child on the scheme. We will also provide sibling discount; please let us know if you wish to enrol more than one sibling.
We do plan to launch a phase 1 session soon. If you are interested in this session please let us know and we will keep you informed.
