Overview of the Calves Programs
At Ipswich Football Club, our mission is to bring communities together through football at all levels. Our Calves Programs, encompassing both the Kick-Off and League phases, are specifically designed for children aged 3 to 10, promoting football-based exercise and activity for kids of all abilities. Whether a child is new to the sport or has prior experience, the age guidelines are flexible, allowing for movement between phases based on individual skill and development levels.
Both programs aim to provide quality, consistent coaching in a supportive environment, free from the pressures of competition. By focusing on the acquisition of basic skills and correct techniques, we foster a love for the game while ensuring that all participants enjoy their football journey. Through these initiatives, we are committed to creating a strong foundation for young players, enabling them to reach their full potential in the world of football.

The Calves Kick-Off Program is designed for children aged 3 to 5, promoting football-based exercise for kids of all abilities, whether they are new to the sport or have some experience. Age guidelines are flexible, allowing players to move between phases based on their skill and development levels. Please note that these are training-based sessions, not a league format.
The Calves League Program encourages football-based exercise for children of all abilities, regardless of prior experience. Age guidelines are flexible, allowing movement between phases based on skill and development levels. This program provides young players with coaching, focusing on basic skills in a non-competitive environment. As a result, children will learn proper techniques and cultivate a lasting love for the game.
