Tiny Feet, Big Dreams: Planting the Seeds of Soccer Early

Coach Sipho and Coach Elvis spent time at one of our local crèches, giving the tiniest members of our community their very first taste of the beautiful game. And let’s just say—it was everything.

Little legs, oversized balls, big smiles, and lots of giggles—pure magic.

At AFYA, we believe it’s never too early to introduce children to sport. It’s not just about the kicks and the drills. It’s about the lessons that come with it: discipline, teamwork, confidence, resilience—all taught in the most joyful, playful way. These are the same values we hope will carry these little ones through school and into the future, both on and off the field.

And let’s be honest—watching them run around with all that excitement? It reminded us why we do this in the first place.

Sport builds more than just strong bodies—it builds strong minds, strong hearts, and strong communities.

These Future AFYA Stars might be small now, but the potential in them is huge. And you can be a part of their journey.

Your donation—no matter the size—helps us keep showing up for these kids. It allows us to invest in their development from the very beginning, nurturing a generation of young people who believe in themselves, in their futures, and in the power of sport to take them there.

With love (and sore cheeks from smiling so much),
