Exercise Book: SoccerFit Curriculum for Preschoolers and Young Kids

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

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