The FUNdamentals 

FUNdamentals (first steps)  Age 5-7

For our youngest age groups we provide a base that focuses on fun, enjoyment and participation to allow them to play, learn and love football.

Players will learn the basics of the game by playing Small Sided Games (SSG). “The small-sided game model is an effective method for developing ball skills and game awareness because it increases opportunities for players to have contact with the ball and to both attack and defend without the tactical regimentation that can occur in 11 v 11 football.” Ian Stewart, Irish Football Association

Sessions will be planned in 6-week blocks.
