Recreational Training

Our Recreational (Rec) programme focuses on developing children aged 2-15 years through a player centred, fun based, holistic style of coaching where each individual is afforded the opportunity to learn and develop in their own time. Our Rec sessions run to their own age and programme based syllabus with session plans that focus on the fundamentals of football in a fun and friendly environment.

These sessions provide great progression through our age based programmes developing & mastering new skills and techniques each year with an outlet through our Rec player pathway offering more advanced recreational training topics and outcomes as our players progress.
We offer the opportunity for our Rec players to move towards our Competitive arm if when they are ready from ages 6+.
