SOCCER FESTIVALS
We bring children, family and friends together to have an enjoyable day at our Score4Soccer Festival.
Children require much needed game time to learn soccer, our S4S Festivals offers the player an hour of game time per event – register to play in our event and gain valuable minutes of soccer playing time needed to develop your soccer skills.
It’s all about learning with game time !
Shawn Bester
Program Director
“Score4Soccer provides children with a simple framework to learn the elements of soccer.”
The Score4Soccer philosophy offers children the opportunity to play real soccer, to build up and score — defend — play in transition as the ball exchanges. Fewer players and more confined space – more player involvement – more touches of the ball – more learning moments.
In simplified, modified games, players learn to be aware and to improvise, to concentrate and recognise the soccer game situation.

S4S Festivals
Using this means, we have created the smallest possible formation which still has all three lines: attack, midfield and defence. But we still see all elements of ground play, combinations, and the notion that the ball should be the thing doing the work. Although creativity is important, team play is the biggest element. The matches are relentlessly intensive, meaning that players get used to cooperating with each other, can fine-tune visual and tactical aspects, and get used to playing at high intensity. Because scenarios develop so quickly, children learn the dos and don’ts of the game through constant repetition.
Dutch Maestro: Johan Cruyff
Johan Cruyff famously said, “I trained about 4 hours per week at Ajax as a boy, but I played 4 hours on the street everyday. Where do you think I learned to play football?”
The reality is, our youth players in South Africa don’t have safe environments to play in the park or street any longer. We have to create an environment where the children can spend time playing soccer, interacting and making friendships.
