Is your child football mad? Are you looking for extra training to enhance your child’s football skills? FootieBugs is perfect for children who simply want to play football and for those who may already be involved with a club and looking for professional football training.
Coaches demonstrate a range of the moves slowly and consistently, all aimed at improving the child’s ability within the game. The children practice these and through a number of further demonstrations the coaches are able to correct any errors and gradually increases the intensity of the session.
FootieBugs 7-9 years children’s football activity programmes progresses to perform more advanced skills in game situations. We start to develop tactical training focused on when & why to perform these skills relative to your position and role within a team. Includes transition, speed of play, combination play, changing the point of attack, principles of attack and defence, attacking and defending set pieces.
To ensure parents are aware of their child’s progress, we run a level system whereby children develop essential football skills and work their way through the levels. Click here to view the full breakdown of our level system!
