Building confident, creative and intelligent footballers Our curriculum provides a progressive development pathway from U7 through to U10.
We recognise that every child develops at a different rate. The abilities below are therefore development expectations rather than selection criteria. Players are encouraged to progress at their own pace while our coaches provide the appropriate level of challenge.
Our aim is not simply to teach children football techniques. We want players to become confident on the ball, capable of making their own decisions, comfortable making mistakes and excited about learning.
Ball mastery remains central throughout the Foundation Phase, which aligns with England Football's emphasis on giving young players lots of contact with the ball and opportunities to manipulate it in different directions and at different speeds.
