Exercise Book: SoccerFit Curriculum for Preschoolers and Young Kids

Exercise Daily Magazine proudly presents the SoccerFit Curriculum โ€” a dynamic, science-backed fitness program designed for preschoolers to early elementary children (ages 3โ€“6). As part of the EDM Academy, this curriculum bridges physical literacy, play-based fitness, and foundational soccer skills to help kids grow strong โ€” physically and mentally.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Why SoccerFit?

The pandemic revealed just how essential movement is to a childโ€™s development โ€” and how many lacked access. SoccerFit responds to that gap with joyful, structured, daily activity that kids love โ€” and parents and fitness trainers trust.
