From the 2-5th of January Fulham FC Foundation ran our first School Holiday Soccer Schools programme of the year at Fulham FC’s Training Ground in Motspur Park.,
We also joined in on the festivities with our Christmas Soccer School on Friday 22nd December, where participants had the opportunity to win prizes and play fun activities.
Our aspiring footballers also welcomed Fulham FC Captain Tom Cairney, who surprised everyone one afternoon after his training! Tom spent almost an hour talking with these young Fulham Soccer Schoolers, signing autographs and shirts for those attending.
At Fulham FC Foundation, we are so proud to have created an environment where, whether you are new to the game or play regularly, there is something for everyone. Groups are split by age and ability to ensure our participants have the opportunity to play with their friends and in an environment that will challenge them to develop and have fun!
We believe that all people should have access to open and inclusive sport, and physical activity. Our hugely popular holiday Soccer Schools create more opportunities to enjoy the game, and the life skills that come with it.
All our Soccer Schools are open to everyone – boys and girls, ages 3-14, of all abilities are welcome. In some instances, participants may feel more comfortable in an adapted environment, therefore we deliver specific Soccer Schools to meet their needs. These include:
- Billy’s Beginners (3-5 years old)
- Mixed Mainstream (5-14 years old)
- Girls Soccer School (5-14 years old)
Our Billy’s Beginners programme is based on improving the individual’s football skills, their ability to take turns, and their creative thinking. To engage these participants, sessions will need to be designed based around a theme. Learning meets storytelling!
The syllabus for our older participants (5-14) is designed to improve the core techniques relevant to the individual. The topics are deliberately broad so that coaches can design their sessions to meet the needs of the group they are working with.
Feedback from our Soccer Schools parents
- “My son loves coming, meeting new people, improving and playing football all day. Gives me a break from playing with him in the garden.”
- “[My highlight was] getting Tom Cairney’s signature.”
- “We've been before and the staff are those who make it a superb experience for our young man.”
And our Soccer Schools are back for February Half Term!
We will be in Bishop's Park, Burntwood School and the Training Ground from Monday 12th until Friday 16th February, with spaces now available to book.
