We are please to announce the opening of our first Futsal class in Brentwood. The class will take place in Shenfield High Schools sports hall from September 2016. We are welcoming bookings from any player aged between 6 – 9 years old.
Please use the contact tab above to reserve a space.
We hope to release more dates for an older class in the near future. .
Our three day camp over May half term was yet another success. With over 40 Boy’s and Girl’s of all ages attending, there were many talented players on show.
The camp was based around the European Championships that were fast approaching. With the daily quiz and football tournament, all players left the camp knowing who would be taking part in the Championships and most importantly why Messi of Argentina would not be taking part!
The picture above, shows three of the stand out players from the camp. The two young Girl’s showed great skill and enthusiasm throughout. The young Boy finished up as a winner of the passing competition and is a huge contender to be a World Cup captain at the next camp.
Our next camp will take place Monday 1st August – Wednesday 3rd August. We have three camps running throughout the summer and places can now be reserved. To book – use the contact tab above.
Our first ever Easter camps at Shenfield
high school, proved to be a very successful. With over 80 Boy’s and Girl’s attending, there were plenty of prizes, medals and trophies won.
The biggest prizes on offer were:
Player of the week
World cup winners
Three competition winners from the daily challenges set.
Mini Kickers
Our Mini Kickers morning class also proved to be extremely popular. The players between the ages of 4 – 6 years old arrived at 9.30am and left at 12pm.
At the end of the week, all players received a signed certificate. Players who impressed throughout the week, also won prizes as well as the special – young player of the week award.
Advanced players from the age of six, were invited to stay on the course after 12pm and join the older players during their world cup games. Two were even moved into the 7 – 8 age group during the morning sessions due to their advanced skills.
7 – 12 year old players
Players from the age of six stayed with us from 9.30am – 3.30pm. They were issued a coloured bib throughout the day which allowed them to accumulate points for their world cup teams throughout the day.
Each day was themed based which allowed the players a chance to develop as an all round player. It also encouraged every player to try different positions during their world cup games as they felt confident in many areas of the pitch.
Our next camp
We are expecting high numbers for our three day camp during May half term. Please contact us as soon as possible to reserve a space.
Essex Football Coaching is delighted to announce that we are offering football classes for 18 month-5 year olds.
Where and when?
Sessions are held on Saturday mornings at Shenfield High School. We are able to offer a top- of-the-range facility with a fantastic viewing gallery for the parents to watch their children. Each class lasts 45 minutes between 9.30 am – 12pm. This allows us to offer your child the appropriate class for their age and ability.
18 – 30 months
Parents of toddlers who are aged 18-30 months are asked to stay with their child throughout the entire class. The session is based around allowing the toddler to take on a very simple task in their own time and at their own pace.
2-3 year olds
Parents of 2– 3 year olds are also required to stay in the sports hall with their child. This allows the coach to manage behaviour and aid the motor skills of each child by informing their parents of the task ahead. This allows for each child to progress at their own pace.
3-4 year olds
3 – 4 year olds take part in activities that are individually tailored. These classes are designed and based around colours, numbers and aid the children’s developing listening skills. Not only do the children improve their basic every-day skills, but they learn new skills through sport.
4 years +
Once they have reached the highest class of Mini-Kickers, the class is taught more advanced skills and more individual team competitions are involved. This prepares the boys and girls for when they graduate and progress to a youth team at Hutton FC.
Where do they go after Mini-Kickers?
Working in partnership with Hutton FC, our programme provides a route into youth football in partnership with one of the biggest football clubs in Essex. The club also trains at Shenfield High School on a Saturday but on the 3G Astroturf. To help the children adapt to the different environment, we allow for our coaches to help with the transition by providing a few taster sessions on the 3G, before the children to advance into youth football.
How do I book?
