Mini 1uppers Training Menu!

All sessions are carefully designed by 1UP’s Director of Player Development and current pro Niko Myroniuk, alongside Grassroots coordinator Anthony Garmory. Anthony has over 8 years of experience coaching early years soccer in the UK, where he developed players from as young as 18 months.

These sessions are tailor-made to ensure engagement and fun for all our Mini 1uppers. We are really excited to have parent/player sessions for our Mini Beginners. This means it is mandatory for Parents to join in with sessions alongside their mini baller, so please arrive in correct clothing. We then move into our Next Level Minis, where the players have more independent learning, but it is still mandatory for parents to remain at the sessions.

Sessions Structure

Each session follows a predictable, age-appropriate flow to help young players feel comfortable and engaged. Although we have an idea of timings on sessions, it’s important to note our Mini 1uppers sessions will be based off engagement of the players, we may spend longer or shorter on an activity depending on this.

Session Flow:

  1. Free Movement: Warm-up exploration with simple equipment to build comfort and independence.

  2. Movement Games: Playful coordination activities (running, balancing, colours, obstacles).

  3. Ball Discovery: Beginner-friendly dribbling, rolling, tapping, and chasing games.

  4. Adventure Challenges: Imaginative treasure hunts, pirate games, and target kicking.

  5. Mini Matches: Quick, non-competitive play to build teamwork and confidence.

  6. Celebration: High-fives, team cheer, and a fun finish to every session.

What To Bring

  • Athletic wear (Guardian as well!)

  • Indoor Soccer Boots or Runners (No Cleats)

  • No Ball: Balls will be supplied, no need to bring your own

  • Plenty of water

  • Players’ Comfort Item - Optional (Stuffed Animal or toy)

Parent Involvement

While working with players as young as 18 months old, 1UP is committed to offering a fun, safe and overall positive experience to all players involved in our Mini 1Uppers program. In order to do this efficiently we ask that parents remain in attendance for all Mini sessions. Please see below for program specifics:

1UP Mini Beginners (18 months - 30 months): Parents are incorporated into the session and are required to attend sessions along side your mini baller - please come in athletic clothing and be prepared to participate!

1UP Next Level Mini’s (31 months - 48 months): Parents are required to remain at the facility in case of any complications during the session - players in these groups have the option of completing the session independently for the first time! If a parent is still needed to partake in the session with the player, that is ok too!

Medical Information

Our player's safety is our first priority. Please read the below carefully:

  • If there are any medical concerns or injuries that you wish to highlight, please inform us via email prior to the session and we will add it to our records and make sure the coaches on site are aware.

  • If there are any last-minute medical concerns or injuries that you wish to highlight, please make sure you inform your coach before the session

  • Please ensure that your player packs all proper medication necessary. (Inhaler, EpiPen, etc.)

Social Media, Photographers & Videographers

Throughout the season, the players will likely see both videographers and photographers shooting cool content! We will be posting frequently throughout the season with daily posts, but also a very high amount of videos on our instagram story. Give us a follow on the below social media outlets:
