Children can be introduced to a ball as soon as they begin to walk, not with the intention of developing footballers right away, but simply as a way to bond, play, and enjoy time together. In many Latin cultures, this is quite common. A parent, often a father, will naturally use a ball as a tool for connection and play. As a result, children develop comfort and familiarity with the ball from a very early age, giving them a natural head start in coordination and ball manipulation. This is what’s possible for a three year-old, if a parent has some knowledge on what to encourage.

We wish everyone a happy, joyful and peaceful Easter weekend.
