The 4th – 8th grade players will be involved in First Kicks and Fun
Football which is a skill-based programme. This involves 30mins of
football coaching every Saturday morning, and then 3 x 10min
small sided games (4 v 4, 5 v 5). These games do not have goalies,
encourage lots of touches on the ball, and do not keep score.

The First Kicks and Fun Football programme, will be run by trained
football coaches and parents, called Game Day Leaders.

All children will become more technically proficient at the game.

Schools/clubs will attend the programmes (like games in the older
age groups) in their own school/club football uniforms to show
their identity.

Pre-season Coaching Courses and Demo Days - These will showcase
the programme, provide resources, and ensure new parents and
children are aware of the benefits of being involved.
