Development Games

Our New 'BOB' 3v3 & 5v5 development games are designed for children who want to learn through play!

By playing 3 v 3 mini games we want the children to develop an understanding of football leading them to play 5 v 5.

Our Philosophy

We see the 'Pitch' as both a classroom,  where the children come to learn and as a playground, where children come to play.

Parents do not go into the classroom and shout out the answers nor should they over scrutinise children's play.

The parents are encouraged to support and the coach is there to guide the players through the learning process. 

The players are expected to make mistakes and are allowed to learn from them and 
not berated for them. 

An environment where the children can basically, Play without FEAR!
