What it's all about?:

COACHING FOOTBALL for ENJOYMENT
Under the remit and guidelines set out by the Football Association our aim is to provide proper coaching in all the basic skills of the game.  All our coaches are FA trained, all are members of the FA Coaches Association (FACA), and all have a real love of the game.

The soccer school runs for all ages between 5 and 16 for both boys and girls and across ALL ability ranges. This means sessions ALWAYS involve some form of skills coaching, which usually lasts about 30 minutes: if you just want to play a game of football then go down to the park!

Our aim is to give every child who comes along a thorough grounding in the essential techniques and skills of the game, including attitude and enthusiasm.  Every session, though, does end with a game, based on age group and ability; this gives the coaches a chance to assess skills, aptitude and physical development.

The groups are usually split into age groups determined by the players school year:
Years Reception, 1 & 2
Years 3 & 4
Years 5 & 6
Years 7 & Over

There are NO formal games here, but if you are interested in playing in a well organised league, then there are plenty of opportunities on a Sunday.

OK - what's it going to cost me?

Suprisingly very little, as this is a completely new way of accessing football for everybody, you only pay on the day you take part, so there is no need to worry about having to miss a week, just because you have paid in advance -

£3.50 per session is all it costs to take part.

Please turn up 10 minutes before your session and pay.
Each player will receive a sticker to identify to the coaches that they have paid.
