Our Philosophy


We coach children in what the FA call "The Foundation Phase" ( Ages 5 - 11 ) and below. Below 5 years of age our sessions are designed to build confidence in a social environment, practice basic new motor skills and increase agility, balance and co ordination. This is achieved with fun group, individual and team games. Basic football movements and points based games also help with early learning skills such as counting and number/colour recognition. 

 

All sessions align with the FA four corners, technical, psychological, physical and social. As the development journey of each young player is unique, the level of support needed in each of the four corners will vary. As they get into the older age group of 7 plus we, look to explore different topics to give them experiences in all 4 corners with a game based approach, with the view of making them the players of the future in line with the FA England DNA, focussing on, in possession, out of possession and transitional elements of the game. Whilst taking into consideration the attacking and defending principles of play in every session. Culminating in coaching the basics of 5 v 5 and 7 v 7 games. 

 

We are constantly using the most up to date FA coaching practices to provide a safe, fun and enjoyable football experience for all.
