Starts Saturday 12th June - The World Cup Football Football programme runs every Saturday morning. Players can join at the start or part way through a programme. Everyone is welcomed and players of all abiltities can get involved.
World Cup themed programme: a 7 week programme starting from Saturday 12th June 2010 across the UK
The programme develops the basic skills and techniques of passing, shooting, dribbling, attacking & defending. In addition the programme will introduce how team work and communicating between players will help both the player and the team to develop and one week will focus on goalkeeping.
All the games are in a 5-a-side format which means players are always involved with more touches, more passes, more shots and more goals!
The programme costs £35 for the 7 weeks, i.e. £5 per week.
As the number of players is strictly limited to 10 players per session all 7 sessions need to be booked in advance to guarantee your place. Each session is designed to be age appropriate to match the needs of the players and are run for players within 2 year age bands: 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12.
The emphasis will be on the needs of the children. For the younger age groups the priority will be basic physical literacy skills such as agility, balance and co-ordination with many touches of the ball with technical football skills and decision making introduced as children move into the older age groups.
Specific skills and techniques will be introduced each week and an adapted game will allow these skills to be developed. Each session will include ‘the match’ where the coach will encourage the skills to be used in a free play situation.
