We are extremely excited to announce a great new partnership for our Mini Kickers starting on Saturdays from 7th September 2024. Based at Haymoor Junior School (Canford Heath), our new sessions will help children from reception age get into football whilst providing them with fun, engaging, block learning of the fundamentals of the game.
Step Into Sport - Led by Patrick Brown, (UEFA B licenced) and his assistant Dan Walker, will be running the sessions which will be the first stepping stone for players with the aim of joining grassroots teams at U7 and U8.
The sessions are open to all abilities and players will be grouped so they are at a level where they will be challenged as they learn the game. Training sessions will run to a syllabus (see below).
Block 1 – Fundamental ABC’s and basic skills.
Block 2 – Passing and moving.
Block 3 – Working as a team.
Block 4 – Defending.
Block 5 – Dribbling and 1v1s.
Block 6 – Conditioned match play.

Patrick says:
"We will always look to adapt our sessions to fit the players needs whether that’s to challenge them more or simplify the session if they are finding it challenging.
During the sessions we will look to coach the groups as well as working 1-1 with players if we feel they would benefit from it.
With players joining us at the start of their footballing journey, our aim is to support them and give them the fundamentals they need before entering grassroots football, should they wish to do so. We plan to build on the high standards set over the years by Poole Town FC Wessex by producing more successful players, and teams, with a clear pathway for the best to go onto play in the adult game."
The cost for the sessions is only £15.00 a month per child.
We will be looking for children who (in Sept 24) will be in Reception, Year One or Year Two.
