Making Football Fit the Child, NOT the Child Fit Football.

At VFS we understand that NOT all children are the same. Their development are influenced by what is called the Three Ages of Sport.

• Chronological Age – this is the actual date of birth of the child.
• Biological Age – maturity level. Children of the same biological age may be upto 3-4 years apart based on their rate of maturation.
• Training Age – years of practice. Two children with the same chronological and biological age can be poles apart in terms of skills and understanding of the game if one has trained substantially more.

Before placing a child into our programs we try to work out the current stage of development of each child based on the combination of the three different ages.  This has proved to be very successful, with children developing to their full potential.
