Khimki · Moscow · the 'golden age' of technique
7–9 is football's 'golden age': skills are absorbed faster than ever. This is when technique is laid down — dribbling, passing, shooting, feints. We train in the Brazilian GINGA method: maximum touches on the ball and technique through play, not drilling.
Dribbling with both feet, first feints, accurate passes and shots. In GINGA each child gets maximum touches per session.
We teach children to see a team-mate, get open and make decisions — meaningful play, not 'kick and run'.
Regular children's tournaments, with the game reviewed in the next sessions: what worked and what to improve.
Wants more? There are one-on-one sessions and preparation for academy trials.
On the contrary: it's one of the best ages to start. The 'golden age' for learning technique is only just beginning, we take children without selection, and the group is picked by age and level — the child settles in fast. A detailed breakdown by age is in "What age to start your child in football", and on the method — "The GINGA Brazilian method".
Football for kids aged 3–4 · age 5 · age 6 · teenagers 13–16 — full schedule on the home page. Girls train alongside boys: football for girls. Dreaming of playing in goal? There are goalkeeper sessions.

Not at all — it's one of the best ages to start. We take children without selection; the group is picked by age and level. The 'golden age' for learning technique is only just beginning, and the child quickly catches up.
GINGA is the Brazilian approach to learning: maximum touches on the ball, technique through game tasks, freedom and improvisation instead of drilling. At 7 it's especially effective — the child learns feints and ball control at the age when they stick for life.
