DRIBBLERS (2-3 YEARS)
Our toddler football class is carefully designed to introduce our youngest members to the world of sport. Appreciating that every child that comes through our doors has probably never played any sport, our very tentative and approachable coaching team are on hand to create the perfect environment for your little one to settle right in.
Session plans are purposefully created to not only help introduce toddlers to their first kicks, but to help build endurance and develop strong muscles and bones, maintain good sleeping patterns, improve fine motor skills including balance, dexterity, and flexibility and develop better social skills.
PLAYMAKERS (3-4 YEARS)
Our Playmakers classes are best suited for preschoolers. With over 15 years of preschool coaching experience between them, our coaches deliver fun-filled and regardfully structured sessions every weekend. Session plans are created to ensure the skills learned during play and physical activity can contribute greatly to the overall development of your child.
With a graceful take on delicate discipline, our coaches are able to manage classes to ensure all children have fun, but actually want to learn what's being taught. Our Playmakers are challenged weekly in regards to their understanding of basic football skills - such as dribbling, passing and shooting.
BALLERS (4-6 YEARS)
Designed to prepare our young members for life in the Academy, our Ballers classes pave the way for members' first steps into competitive football. The structure of each session typically consists of a football based warm up, a Skill of the Month, dribbling or passing drill, a game incorporating a match scenario and a small-sided match. Session plans are progressed throughout the month, and changed ahead of the next month.
Our coaching team are trained to ensure matches aren't just 'watched', but rather all members are stopped and taught key aspects of the game as they play out - including how long to hold the ball, staying in positions/formations, how to tackle, keeping the ball close and more.
ACADEMY (7+ YEARS)
Our Football Academy is set up to further develop young members, with the aim of preparing all ages for club specific standards. Our Academy sessions take place for 1.5 hours, and typically include vigorous warm-ups, a Skill of the Month, a ball-based drill, a pattern of play (specific to a competitive match scenario), and 30 minutes of match time.
Our Academy is underpinned by our Football Club - Sporttiers FC, which has been created to allow the entry of teams in the Thames Valley Development League from September 2022.
Delivery of session plans are done in such a manner to encourage our members to pass wisely, shoot confidently, dribble purposefully, tackle intelligently and play happy.
