Exercise Book: SoccerFit Curriculum for Preschoolers and Young Kids
Exercise Daily Magazine proudly presents the SoccerFit Curriculum — a dynamic, science-backed fitness program designed for preschoolers to early elementary children (ages 3–6). As part of the EDML, this curriculum bridges physical literacy, play-based fitness, and foundational soccer skills to help kids grow strong — physically and mentally.
🏃♂️ Why SoccerFit?
The pandemic revealed just how essential movement is to a child’s development — and how many lacked access. SoccerFit responds to that gap with joyful, structured, daily activity that kids love — and parents and fitness trainers trust.
