FOUNDATION
5-7 YR OLDS
At the early stage of football development, our children’s football training focuses on building both confidence and foundational skills such as dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting. We use fun activities that enhance fundamental movement skills, including agility, balance, coordination, and speed.
Our training sessions promote skills development through decision-making, creativity, and resilience in small-sided games. Depending on each child’s ability and experience, we also begin to develop tactical understanding, such as creating space and decision-making in game-realistic scenarios. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of football and ensure continual learning and development.

My two sons (6 and 8) attended the football camp run by SkillsCoach & Barnes Eagles at Barn Elms Sports Trust. Very easy to book. Early drop off options. And most importantly, the boys absolutely loved it!

Both my children (9 & 7) have really enjoyed Wednesday night sessions, holiday camps, Saturday mornings and 1:1s. They love football and they have loved developing their skills with Matt and the team. Both boys have been supported so wonderfully by the coaches. I would highly recommend.

Your child will enhance their ball manipulation, technique, game understanding, and movement in a safe, structured, and enjoyable setting. Guided by our experienced coaches, each session has a specific topic designed with fun, age-specific drills and games, ensuring that every player is challenged and supported. Our ultimate goal is to help every child reach their potential.
Children can start our weekly football training sessions as young as 5 years old (although some begin at 4). However, we recommend parents have their child try a free class first. It needs to be the right environment and challenge so they build confidence and feel competent – we want them to love the game!
