A chance for even the youngest kids to learn to play soccer, the classes are offered by newcomers to Sudbury, the ‘Gergis Gang’
The Gergis Family, known as the “Gergis Gang,” came to Sudbury from the United Kingdom, a place where a franchise known as Little Kickers offers soccer classes to little ones interested in the game.
“We had always wanted to do something to engage children in the local community, and to run our own business,” Gergis said. The program was developed by child health specialists in conjunction with UK FA qualified coaches, and works on the basis that children are much more likely to learn if their imaginations are engaged and skills are introduced through games, rather than formal drills.
Gergis has more than 20 years experience coaching soccer, and his wife, Rita, has two decades of teaching experience. She said she has always believed that play builds the child’s brain. When she was in England she was the first to start a soccer club for girls in the school where she was working. This club is still going until today.
