Pre-School 1
In these creative sessions, your child will be introduced to a wide range of football activities. Using their imagination, your child will play their way through fun themed sessions, from animals, countries, pirates, colours to numbers as they learn basic football skills!
Pre-School 2
Building on Pre-school 1, these sessions are designed to improve your child’s physical literacy, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, balancing, ball control, bouncing, catching and developing kicking of the ball. Continuing with themed topics from Pre-School 1, they’ll enjoy a fun, holistic educational experience as their skills develop - ready for the next step into Skills 1.
Skills 1
This stage will introduce your child to individual and team skills through fun activities and games. They’ll develop an understanding of the importance of team play and build on their learning from Pre-School 1 & 2, along with learning new basic skills of football.
Skills 2
Your child will further build upon the skills and competencies learnt in Skills 1, as well as building confidence in their play. They’ll learn more detailed and technical parts of the game through creative games.
Skills 3
Our final stage will see your child move onto more advanced skills and we introduce multi football skills and disciplines of the game. Our coaches will teach them about their movement and spatial awareness; they will learn how team play and individual skills are important to any team success.
On completion of Skills 3, your child will have completed our primary school pathway. They’ll have had a good level of knowledge and competency to continue their football journey. Please discuss with coaches the next steps from this stage.
