Football for Year 2 and up (ages 6 to 10)

From Year 2 the pace picks up. Drills are more demanding, sessions move faster and players take more responsibility for their own game, while we keep sharpening the core skills they've built up over the years.

What they learn

Whether your child has never played before, plays for a grassroots team or is in an academy, our 50-minute sessions are pitched so they feel supported while still being challenged.

  • Faster, more demanding drills with the ball
  • Core skills kept sharp: close control, both feet, turning and shooting
  • Better decisions on the ball, at match speed
  • Slightly more advanced match ideas: passing, finding space and reading the game
