How We Train — The FUNino Way

At this age, fun and learning are the same thing. FUNino is the game format developed in Germany by Horst Wein that puts every child in the game, every minute — with maximum ball contact and real match situations from day one.

What is FUNino?

FUNino replaces large-group drills with small-sided games specifically designed for young players. Field size, goal size, number of players, and rules are all adapted to the age and skill level of the children — so every game feels just right.

Instead of standing in line waiting for a turn, every child is always involved — touching the ball, making decisions, scoring goals. This is how German youth soccer develops players who love the game for life.

Maximum ball contacts for every child
Real game situations from the very first session
Develops creativity, anticipation and game intelligence
No child is ever standing on the sideline watching
Age-appropriate rules that make sense to 5–7 year olds
🎮
Play, don’t drill

At ages 5–7 the brain learns through play. FUNino sessions look like games — because they are. Skills are picked up naturally, without children even realising they’re being coached.

Small goals, big impact

Multiple small goals spread across the playing area encourage movement in all directions, 1v1 situations, and quick decision-making — the foundation of every great player.

❤️
Love the game first

The most important outcome at this age isn’t technique — it’s that your child leaves every session wanting to come back. FUNino is designed exactly for that.

Cleats or trainers, shin guards, and a water bottle. Comfortable sports clothes are fine — no special kit required. Full kit details will be confirmed with your session location.
Yes — drop-ins are welcome! However we recommend emailing ahead to confirm availability since spots are limited. A quick email to marion.dieseler@tm17pro.com is all it takes.
