PHILOSOPHY: DESIRE TO PLAY

The major objective of this stage is to develop physical literacy and basic skills within children, through football participation.
Without speed, agility, balance and co-ordination, as well as the ability to run, jump, throw, kick, catch and control the body (sensory awareness), children will not only be incomplete as football players, but will also not have the confidence or competence to take part in many sporting activities.
The skills will be delivered through programmes centred around games- based and FUN (Foundation, Understanding, Nurturing) activities, with 100% involvement at all times.
Football-4's festivals and seven-a-side games that allow the opportunity to express enjoyment and develop skills through games.
