Reception & Year 1 ⚽💙
Building confidence, developing skills and preparing children for their next steps in football.
Reception Children
Our Reception sessions build naturally on the skills introduced in Mini Dribblers, while continuing to keep football fun, active and pressure-free.
At this age, we want children to have as many touches of the ball as possible, which is why every child has their own football for much of the session.
Through fun games, challenges and activities, children will develop:
⚽ Dribbling in different directions
🔄 Turning and changing direction
🏃 Running with the ball
🥅 Shooting and finishing
🤝 An introduction to passing and receiving
👟 Controlling and trapping the ball
The focus is on helping every child become comfortable and confident with the ball at their feet.
Year 1 Children
As children progress into Year 1, we gradually introduce more decision-making, teamwork and game-based learning.
Children will begin playing more 1v1 and 2v2 games, giving them plenty of opportunities to have the ball, make decisions and build confidence in realistic football situations.
Sessions follow 3–4 week development modules, including:
⚽ Passing & receiving
🏃 Dribbling & running with the ball
🔄 Turning & changing direction
🥅 Shooting & finishing
🔥 1v1 & 2v2 games
🧠 Confidence and decision-making
