BSS Minis Dubai: Ages 5-8 Years

In our youngest age groups, for players aged 5 to 8, our goal is to open each child’s mind to what is possible both with and without the ball. We help them explore its unlimited potential through creative, engaging training. At Brazilian Soccer Schools Dubai, we tap into the natural energy and imagination that young children already have – making learning fun, fast-paced, and exciting from the very first session.

Each session focuses heavily on individual ball work, which makes up at least sixty percent of the training. The remaining time is used for small-sided FDS-style game situations, allowing players to apply what they’ve learned in a realistic setting. This blend of skill development and match experience is what makes our kids football classes in Dubai so effective at building confident, technically strong young players.

Children are also introduced to the ICFDS Skills Badge Scheme in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Just as importantly, we place early emphasis on respect, teamwork and friendship – values we believe are just as important as ability.

The overall aim at this stage is to introduce children to the Brazilian Soccer Schools methodology and give them a strong foundation of core technical skills. This foundation will carry forward with them as they grow into more advanced phases of learning. At this age, individual growth and creative expression are key – and we make sure every child has the space to develop at their own pace.
