FUNdamental Sessions (Reception as of September )

Overview

Motspur Park C.F.C.'s Mini-Soccer FUNdamental sessions are aimed at players currently in Reception (as of September 2023) regardless of their footballing ability. This soccer school is designed to prepare players for joining one of our U7 teams in two years time. We follow a curriculum designed by our specialist foundation phase coaches that is focused on developing players technique and enhancing their understanding of the game by encompassing all four aspects of the FA player development model. These sessions focus on the FUNdamentals of football improving the players Agility, Balance, Coordination, and Speed by primarily working on close ball control entwined with fun, small competitions and games. We believe that every child should have a ball at their feet for at least 70% of the time. This soccer school greatly enhances the players close control and range of ball skills. As the season progresses the sessions begin to focus more on passing and movement with spatial awareness on the field. As well as improving players technical and physical aspects of the game we press great emphasis on the social and fun side of football through the utilisation of fun themed activities.
