Maximum six players per coach
The ratio is the mechanism: fewer players share the coach, the activity, and the next available turn.
Small-Group Training · Ages 2–13+
Four touches should not define the whole hour.
More Touches. More Chances to Improve.
Every coach works with a maximum of six players, so children can try a skill, get feedback, and go again without waiting through a long rotation.

Why group size matters
Four touches in one hour is not enough.
Kids improve through repetition: try, get feedback, then try again. With a maximum of six players per coach, Footie Elite gives each child more opportunities with the ball instead of making them wait for the drill to come back around.
Why repetition matters
Kids cannot improve while waiting for the drill to come back.
Every extra player makes the rotation longer. Smaller groups mean more turns, faster feedback, and another chance to use that feedback while it is still fresh.

How Footie Elite trains
Try it. Get coached. Try it again.
Our coaches keep the instruction simple: let the child try, give one useful correction, then create another chance to apply it. The maximum-six ratio keeps that cycle moving.

What parents ask before opening the schedule.
Does every child get a guaranteed number of touches?
No fixed touch count is promised. The maximum-six format is designed to create more opportunities than a larger rotation while allowing the coach to provide feedback.
Is small-group training only for advanced players?
No. Programs are organized by age, and the smaller format can give beginners and experienced players more opportunities to take part and receive guidance.
