about


The focus is to make sessions fun, so children enjoy themselves – if a child is happy, they will want to come back! The games/drills/matches in these sessions also help children gain confidence in their own abilities so they can enjoy participating.




primary 1-3 (limited to 12)

For younger children each session starts with a warm-up, then games/drills and finishing with a small-sided match. These sessions introduce routine and structure so children can develop their individual football skills and also learn to co-operate with others as part of a team.






primary 4-7 (limited to 16)

Sessions are now based round small-sided matches in the form of a knock-out/league competitions and finishing with a penalty shoot-out/free kick competition. These sessions still retain routine and structure but allow these older children to continue their development while still having fun.



the coach

My previous role as “Lead Coach” for Aquinas FC’s “Mini Soccer” has helped me develop a coaching style that is focused on children of primary school age. This role included developing games/drills that helps give young children with little or no experience an introduction to football.
