This activity is strictly for pupils at Dorchester Primary School, Worchester Park
Our after-school club programme caters to girls and boys in Years 3,4,5. All abilities are welcome.
Whether you are new to the game or play regularly, there is something for everyone. Groups are split by age and ability to ensure our participants have the opportunity to play with their friends and in an environment that will challenge them to develop and have fun.
Each session will focus on a different topic, aiming to create well-rounded footballers and young people. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in football matches, develop their knowledge of the game and meet like-minded pupils in their school.
Weekly topics:
Weeks 1-2 – ‘Ball mastery’ – Learning new skills
Weeks 3-4 – ‘Teamwork’ – Passing and receiving
Weeks 5-6 – ‘Attack vs defence’- 1v1’s, 2v2’s and overloads
Weeks 7-8 - ‘Love the ball’ – Dribbling, turns and tricks
Weeks 9-10 – ‘Scoring goals’ – Shooting and finishing
Weeks 11-12 – ‘Competition’ – Small sided games and tournaments
The after school club at this venue is delivered on the playing fields or school playground. The school will hand over the children to the FFCF Coach at the agreed meeting point for children to begin activities.
During wet weather, we will have access to a classroom to continue our delivery. Depending on the space available, our staff will facilitate suitable activities such as physical challenges and quizzes.
At the end of each week, one young person will be chosen to be ‘Player of the week’. This is usually earned by pupils who have demonstrated: being kind; helpful; trying their best; or being a good teammate.
Please check the weather forecast each week to prepare your child for the session and ensure your child brings the following:
- Water Bottle (no fizzy drinks)
