HOLIDAY COURSES      

Tell me about it

In all school holidays, daytime football coaching, Multi-Skills, SIX-SPORTS and Multi-Activities courses for boys and girls of all abilities are held at selected venues in Wolverhampton. Children are looked after in a safe and friendly environment and are coached by staff who are used to working with young pupils in schools. The recommended ratio of players to coaches is not exceeded and children are coached within their own age bands. Strict rules of behaviour apply while, at the same time, children have fun, enjoy healthy exercise and meet new friends. 

Coaching plans are followed which are appropriate to the age and ability of participants. Children will learn and make progress during each course. 

Courses follow a pace which is suitable for young players. Toilet, drinks and shade breaks take place as necessary. Indoor facilities are used in bad weather. 

Football
For the youngest boys and girls, the 4 to 7 year-olds, basic movement skills will be developed (Agility, Balance, Co-ordination and Speed) alongside basic dribbling, turning, passing, control, heading, shooting, running with the ball and goalkeeping skills, using a range of fun games and challenges.

For older players, the 8 to 12 year-olds, a continuing development of movement skills (Agility, Balance, Co-ordination and Speed) with a progression in skill activities and games. Discovery learning is used to improve players' knowledge. FUTSAL (small-sided football recognised and supported by FIFA, UEFA and The FA) will also be introduced at this stage to encourage skilful and creative play.

How to book a Holiday Course?

It is always best to book in advance to guarantee a place on any of the courses. The recommended ratio of players to coaches will not be exceeded and we do not like to disappoint customers who sometimes ask to book on the first day of a course. Many regular customers secure places by booking for the future when they attend the previous course.

If you would like to download a form, go to the Home page and a booking form is available or telephone 01902 822989 to ask for forms to be posted. To book please complete the form and post along with payment. If you attend our weekly Football Development Centres it is possible to return the form and payment (when it is also possible to pay by cash) to your coaches.
