Join the academyWhere every footballer starts
Our Grassroots program is for children aged 4 to 7 taking their first steps in football. Sessions are short, energetic and built around games, so children learn without even realising it.
We focus on the basics of movement and on having a good time, so children leave each session smiling and wanting to come back.
What a session looks like
- A fun warm-up with running, jumping and balance games.
- Simple ball activities that build first touch and coordination.
- Small games where every child is involved and has the ball often.
- A calm finish with praise for effort and teamwork.
What children gain
- Balance, coordination and basic ball control.
- Confidence around other children and coaches.
- Listening, sharing and taking turns.
- A healthy habit of being active.

Can parents watch?
Yes. Parents are welcome to watch from the side of the ground.
