Programme Spotlight: Wildcats
In the first of our monthly programme spotlights we are taking a closer look at Wildcats, the FA-funded programme aimed at engaging girls aged five to 11 in football.
Evening and Weekend courses are back for the new term! Following our first round of holiday courses running in February half-term, our ever-popular evening and weekend football sessions return for the new school term.
The courses kick-off on Monday 19th January and there is something for every child, from those starting their footballing journeys to the ones trying to refine their skills further.
Sessions are led by UEFA and FA-qualified coaches to ensure that participants get the most out of their time on the pitch.
Take a look at the sessions available:
1:1 Coaching - Receive specialist training delivered by our UEFA and FA-qualified coaches, aimed at developing specific parts of your game
Little Dribblers/Little Dribblers with parents - Give your child a chance to take to the pitch for the first time. Our coaches will help your child learn the basics whilst also having fun.
Wildcats – Inspired by the Lionesses’ summer down under? Our Wildcats sessions provide a great opportunity for girls to try football and improve their skills.
Skills Centre (5-7 years and 8-14 years) – Enjoy a session for all abilities with skill-specific drills and practices from our UEFA and FA-qualified coaches.
Soccer Saturday and Super Sunday (5-7 years and 8-14 years) – Perfect for those aged 5-11, not currently playing for a team and looking to develop their football skills in a safe and fun environment.
Cage Football – A session consisting of small-sided games where the ball doesn’t go out, with quick decision-making, lots of touches on the ball, brilliant for player development!
