Beginners Program - Mini-Kicks | Register |
The philosophy can be summed up in one word – FUN! The Mini-Kicks Program is structured and designed specifically for the young player to have more touches on the ball – which increases enjoyment and participation. We have created a safe and positive environment where kids can learn the game of football through playful training techniques and team bonding activities.
We also aim, for this age group, to develop the child’s agility, balance and co-ordination in a football environment and start to learn the basic rules of the game.
Recreational Level – Player Development | Register |
Our Recreational Level is aimed at improving the level of ability of boys and girls aged between 6 and 14 years old.
We recognize that young footballers develop at different speeds, therefore players in this program might be split by both age and ability levels. This is to ensure that their football experience is as relevant to their stage of development as possible.
Coaches will work with the players’ abilities and build on their basic football skills such as shooting, passing, dribbling and ball control. Players will understand the rules of the game and be encouraged to problem solve using a wide range of fun games and drills.
Academy Program – Player Advancement | Register |
Our Academy program cater for footballers aged 8-17 years. This program is specifically designed for players that require more technical challenge and tactical game understanding.
In addition to advanced and challenging training sessions, this program incorporates other relevant areas of focus, including individual skills enhancement, functional position training and introduction to formations (4v4, 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11).
This program is tailored for players who play or train on a regular basis and players that excel may be invited to either trial with, or join, the Elite Program.
