Villa are thrilled to announce that fun coaching courses for our youngest of fans - Villa Tots - are returning in 2013.

Villa Tots are open to two-three-year-olds to help them learn core skills as they grow up.

They will learn all about confidence, self-esteem, exercise and active play during the sessions, held in Villa Park's Indoor Academy.

Coaches teach the kids to share, play in a group environment and develop greater motor skills through ball control without competitive restrictions.

They will also grasp a basic knowledge of football, better movement, co-ordination and balance, spatial awareness, group interaction and social skills, colour recognition and developed confidence.

Joe Hunt, Villa's development manager, said: "We're delighted with the launch of Villa Tots.

"We really felt it could help our youngest fans develop in their most tender years.

"And judging by the feedback of families after our initials sessions, they agree.

"They have enjoyed their kids getting active and involved - and there's no question the tots have had fantastic fun!"

The cost is £25 per child per block of five sessions - and they're open to both boys and girls.

Villa Tots t-shirts are also available for just £10.

To book places, contact 0800 612 0970.
