 A little bit about me…. my name is Debbie and I am the franchisee for Socatots in Bath and North East Somerset. You may have discovered Socatots as I did, looking for a quality activity for a little one that offered  physical play  that not only  encouraged  aspects of physical development but also  mental and social development. Having a young son and daughter both with buckets of energy and an obsession with balls it sounded perfect.  As Socatots was not available in B&NES I saw it as a brilliant opportunity to bring it to the area.

With my background of being a nurse I am a huge advocate of promoting a healthy lifestyle and like any mother I want my children to have a happy, healthy, adventurous, secure and so importantly fun filled childhood and I believe Socatots can make a real difference.The parent (carer) participation involved in the sessions allows the child to have fun with those close to them, the limit of 8 children  per session ensures each child (and participating adult) receives the appropriate level of input from the class leader.

I am sure that the fun filled Socatots sessions, delivered through the ever popular medium of football will not only develop your child’s basic all-round football skills but will also give them many physical, intellectual and social benefits.

Booking is essential, so please do not hesitate to contact me to reserve your place.

Hope to see you at a Socatots session soon!

Debbie.

 

An Introduction to Socatots

SOCATOTS® is the world's first soccer specific physical play programme for children from six months to school age. Aimed at giving children their very first start with the ball. SOCATOTS® was developed by Simon Clifford and is a truly unique programme.  SOCATOTS® uses soccer or football as our medium and of course a child attending SOCATOTS® will greatly develop their skills in this area, however SOCATOTS® is about a great deal more than just developing a child's affinity and control with the ball, it is about giving them a well-rounded start in their physical, social and educational development and developing the 'whole child'. 

Attending SOCATOTS® classes has enormous benefits for young children and their parents, some of which are listed below:

  • Improvement of balance and co-ordination, as well as posture
  • Development of cognitive skills
  • Increased self confidence
  • Improved social skills
  • Enhanced muscle and bone development
  • More body awareness and understanding of the benefits of exercise

Quotes & Comments

“I’ve met many great people in sport but one who now stands out as truly inspirational is Simon Clifford. A former teacher, he left teaching to set up the Brazilian Soccer Schools from his base in Leeds... Observing him coach ‘SOCATOTS®’ (Children aged as young as six months) right up to working directly with adult players was a breath of fresh air... Simon has redefined terms such as ‘passion’, ‘drive’, ‘energy’ and ‘winning’ in sport. He is not afraid of pushing out the boundaries to challenge his players and all those who work with him. He plans and thinks further into the future than anyone that I have ever met in my lifetime. He has a great future."

Sir Clive Woodward, from the Revised and Updated version of "Winning!"

That's One Nell of a Kick!

by Katie Baldwin - Yorkshire Evening Post

They’ve only just learned to walk – but tiny tots have been practising their ball skills with model mum Nell McAndrew.

The Belle Isle beauty took time out from caring for her baby son Devon to support Leeds-based Socatots. And she said she was already thinking of taking her newborn to the pre-school football skills training sessions when he's older.

Nell joined Socatots members at Leeds Metropolitan University's Headingley campus, where the youngsters showed her the games they have learnt. The 33-year-old said having Devon had made her especially interested in the scheme.

"This is fantastic," she said.
