What happens in a Kick-Off session?

Sessions follow a "play, practice, play" model with no teams and no weekly matches:

1. Arrival activity (5-10 minutes): a fun movement game children can join the moment they arrive, such as Red Light, Green Light.
2. Play (10-15 minutes): a small-sided game.
3. Practice (10-20 minutes): short, game-like activities that target one skill, split into micro-games.
4. Play (10-15 minutes): another game so children can try the new skill.

The skills covered across the Football Australia session plans are dribbling, passing, receiving, finishing and 1v1 defending, alongside physical literacy (learning through movement and social activity).
