Soccer Station

NEW and IMPROVED for 2008! Soccer schools for 5-16 year olds

Come and join the fun at our Soccer Station for boys and girls

Designed for kids aged 5-16, with classes broken into 3 age groups for better skills development,

our Soccer Stations are an ideal way for kids to make new friends while picking up a whole load of new soccer skills. There are morning and afternoon sessions 6 days a week, lasting 2½ hours each including a mixture of coaching, skills practice and matches. Our coaches are all FA qualified and are selected and trained by Kings Camps, the sports and activities specialists who have also designed our course.

The aim of each Soccer Station session is for maximum enjoyment, maximum participation and maximum progression. Every child, whatever their ability, will be made to feel welcome, included and encouraged and they will all improve their skills. We can’t promise to turn your child into the next Ronaldinho, but they will have fun trying!

	Each session is split into 3 age groups: • 5-7 years • 8-12 years • 13-16 years Pre-booking. Sessions can be pre-booked for just £5/€7 per child. Each of the 6 days of the course are different, but you choose how many sessions you would like, to fit in with your holiday plans. You can then confirm the specific sessions you would like to attend with our coaches on-site. 5 for the price of 4 - pre book 5 sessions or more and get 1 session free, a saving of £5/€7. You can also purchase sessions on-site direct with our Soccer Station coaches (subject to availability).

Session Structure

· Each Soccer Station service is staffed by 3 coaches.
· All coaches will have sports coaching experience and/or a qualification.
· There are two sessions offered per day, each lasting 2½ hours. Soccer Station sessions take place in the morning and afternoon.
· During each session, the coaches should incorporate two ‘master classes’. Using the world’s greatest footballers as role models helps to focus the children on learning new skills. Examples of master classes used in the 2007 programme include (subject to change):

· Controlling like Zidane
· Passing like Beckham

· Dribbling like Cristiano Ronaldo
· Shooting like Henry

· Defending like Beckenbauer
· Passing and moving like Viera
· Heading like Shearer

An example of a typical session would be:


10.00	Team Talk	Welcome Warm-up Stretch Ball Familiarisation

10.30	Skills Master class 1	Controlling like Zidane Learn a skill, practise a skill, demonstrate a skill

11.00	Half Time	Drinks and Team Talk

*The morning session will be repeated in the afternoon so that as many children can benefit from the masterclasses as possible.
