Soccer Bopperz

How you doing guys. Thanks to everyone who came to classes this morning in Hillhouse. 2 busy classes with all the big brothers and sisters joining in. It's great to see the big ones and it's even better to see them having fun ☺️ Skylar, Remi and Blaine came along for a look, it might take them time to settle in but there's no hurry. It's a marathon not a sprint 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Zayan is back and ready to rock, Lucas and Harrison were in goals. Fab wee morning, well done troops 🧡 Captains this morning were Scarlett, Kieran, Charlie and Jamie ✨✨✨✨ Soccerbopperz of the Day awards went to Arthur🥇 and Jake🏆

Another 4 classes this afternoon at FIVES Hamilton, beautiful afternoon for a kickabout with your pals ☀️💚 It was Jack versus the girls at 4pm 👱‍♂️👯👭 We had guest appearances from Kaiden, Lana, Evan, Arlo, Orlagh, Luca, Blayke and Bonnie. Lots of dribbling and scoring combos plus attacker's Vs defenders which are going really well. Plus a really good week for Brooklyn ✅ And i had to laugh at Jax. Usually him and his sidekick Mason are jumping around like Jedward. Put Jax on his own and it's the quietest I've ever seen him 😆😆😆 Brilliant to get a bit of sun on your back playing football. Well done kids ✨

Classes 14 and 15 of the week in Hillhouse this morning, fab wee bunches of kids we've got here. Benjamin came along and had a ball at 9.15am, good to see all the big ones join in as well. They're always more than welcome 😁 The young team of Jamie, Logan, Tommy and Eoghan are picking things up each week. Seb and Lewis were LMS, Ollie was in goals for penalties and Vlad makes me laugh every week with his wee strops 😠😆😆😆 Captains this morning were Noah, Lilyana, Sacha and Vlad ✨✨✨✨ and SOTD were Seb🥇 and Logan🏆

6 classes today guys. Double sesh with the wee ones in Hillhouse this morning then 4 classes this afternoon at FIVES. Mind if the wee ones are doing your head in bring them to a class.

Have a good one guys 💚

Wee quieter one this afternoon at FIVES for our Tues classes with 34 kids over our 5 classes.

We had Soccerbopperz royalty in Allan with us at 5.30pm 👑 Pearce was Last Man Standing at 6.15pm, loads of fun drills with the mini goals 🥅 Michael and Denver were moonwalking 🕺🕺some more attackers vs defenders and week 2 for Florence who's loving it and debuts in our Reach Autism class for Coby, Carson and Robert who were fab ☺️⚽ Well done kids ✨

No trophy at 4pm Mason had to settle for a packet of squashies 😆 that's a fair trade I'd say 👍

Classes 7 and 8 of the week in Hillhouse this morning with our Tuesday morning troops, great wee morning of football. The big yins of Eli, Max, Lochlan, Lily and Norton had fun, great to see Harris back at 9.15am, Max was Last Man Standing 👑 goalie duties for Callan and Julian and I'm delighted with how wee Evan and Louie are doing at 10.15am. Early days but they're settling in really well ⚽⚽ Well done kids. Captains this morning were Max, Brody, Logan and Lily ✨✨✨✨ and SOTD were Callan🥇 and Owen🥇

One of the SB dads said something to me the other day, a nice compliment that's really got me thinking 🤔 (it's dangerous when I think) 😆 John said it was amazing how we can take a class of 12 kids of all different abilities and personalities and make it work so well.

The majority of kids football now is tiered on ability levels which can only be a good thing. Each kid with the same ability level playing alongside each other will bring kids on and kids maybe not so high on the ladder don't get left behind playing out of their depth.

So how do we make it work with kids who play for teams in the same class as kids who don't. We've got kids who are confident and full of the swagger in with kids who are quieter. We've got kids with all different natures and ability levels in together at classes. And it just works. I don't have a clue how 😆 it just does.

Maybe it's a mix of enthusiasm, energy, creativity and a love for football. Maybe that creates the chemistry. All I know is I've been winging this coaching thing from day 1 ☺️

4 beauties this afternoon at FIVES with our Monday afternoon troops, a pretty busy afternoon considering we're into the school holidays. A wee bit of jiggery pokery with class numbers as we welcomed Alfie, Evan, Lana, Millie, Jack, Jordan, Harrison, Sienna, KJ and Reeva. Good to see the wee ones enjoying themselves and wanting to do more sessions. We had the mini goals 🥅 out for some drills and races and we had some attacker's vs defenders with the big ones. I can't believe the difference in Findlay 🔥⚽ what a turnaround and quote of the night went to the fave Dylan. I said something that I had done, I can't even remember what it was for Dylan to pipe up with "did ye aye" 😆😆😆😆 love it pal. Well done kids ✨

As if my head isn't ruined enough, today we had JJ, AJ, JJ, PJ and JJ over 3 hours today 🙃🤔

Captains this afternoon were

Caiden⭐

Bit short on trophies today so Cillian and Lucas had to settle for bubblegum squashies 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️😆😆 Probs a better deal tbh ✅

Thanks for the turnout this morning guys. Just the 5 kids at 9.15am and 18 kids at 10.15am 😆😆😆 July is just an unpredictable month for numbers. Good to see all the big ones join in, Tommy won a 18 strong Last Kid Standing beating Archie 4-3 in an epic finale 👑 Christian joined us for a class, we had a cracking debut for Nicolas and we had a long shooting contest which the kids really enjoyed. Well done kids 💙 Captain duties this morning for Harlie⭐ Victoria⭐ and Nico⭐ and SOTD were Ajay🥇 and Arran🏆

Perfect start to the week 👍✅🔥
