Mostly games. Very little queuing, no drills that involve standing in a line, and nobody is sorted by ability.
One full session, free, before you pay anything.

What a session looks like
- Small-sided games from the first minute
- Every child touches the ball hundreds of times, which is the whole point at this age
- No trials, no selection, no A and B groups
- Sixty minutes, because after that they are done and so are we
What to bring
Boots or trainers, shin pads, a drink. Wear anything. We do not sell a kit and your child does not need one.
This is the age at which other schools start talking about potential. We do not, and there is a page on this site explaining why.
Age groups
9 to 10 years
Sub-10
Games, plus the beginning of actually being coached. Still no selection and still mixed ability.
11 to 12 yearsSub-12
The age when children start deciding for themselves whether they like football. Our job is mostly not to ruin it.
13 to 16 yearsSub-16
The age most schools lose children, usually because it stops being fun and starts being an audition. It is not one here.
