There is still just about time to book your place as Oxford United in the Community hosts February half-term holiday courses for budding young footballers to learn new skills.
Boys and girls aged four to 14 are invited to the specialist sessions in a 3G indoor sports dome which are tailored for children of all abilities. Each day usually consists of warm ups, skills sessions including passing, turning, dribbling and shooting and mini-matches.
Two courses are being run, one for boys and girls and one for girls only. Both courses are for children aged between the ages of 4 and 13 and are all about having fun while learning a few new skills.
The half-term holiday football camps aim to develop respect, sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork in a fun environment. All the coaches are FA qualified and have up to date safeguarding, first aid training and CRC checks. Children need to bring their own football kit, including shin-pads, boots, trainers, plus lunch and drinks.
The sessions will all take place at the state of the art 3g dome at Oxford Academy, Sandy Lane West, Oxford between 9am and 3pm from Monday February 18th to Friday February 22nd.
Oxford United in the Community is the football club’s official charity and helps inspire youngsters to reach their potential and improve their health and wellbeing via the power of football, engagement and education. The charity’s coaching staff deliver programmes in nursery and primary schools across Oxfordshire. They are qualified not only in football coaching, but in teaching interventions including Real PE, which focuses on the development of agility, balance and coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning.
All participants will need to bring their own kit, packed lunch and drinks.
