After School Clubs
About Our After SchoolClubs
Our after-school clubs are a fantastic opportunity for girls of any sporting ability to play football, develop ball skills and participate in fun games, in a familiar environment surrounded by their friends. After a day at school (and predominantly in the classroom), children want to run around, laugh, play and get a sense of achievement building on skills and learning something new. Our sessions are tailor-made with that in mind.
A Typical Session
We always start our sessions with team building games and music. These are a great way to get the girls muscles and bodies warmed up while having lots of fun! Our games enable the girls to express themselves from the start of the session and the girls love to show us their favourite dance move or cartwheel!
FUN WARM UP GAMES
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Now that the body is warmed up and the girls have settled into the session, we work on ball control. The girls may work in pairs, teams or individually as they practice, dribbling, passing, defending and shooting through different ball-based games.
OBSTACLE COURSES
These are a firm favourite with the girls and they’re a great way to introduce the ABCS of football - agility, balance, coordination and speed - as well as developing their core-strength and fitness.
A MATCH
The girls love playing matches so we always end with a game. All the girls get a chance to play out on the field and experience different positions as well as in goal and if there's time, it's always great to finish on a penalty shoot out!
REWARD AND RECOGNITION
At the end of every term, we celebrate the progress of all the girls and award each of them with a Footbellas Certificate of Achievement or Medal, to take home and show to family and friends and display with pride in their bedroom!
PERSONAL GROWTH
Coached well, team sport is fantastic for personal growth and self confidence and builds on core social skills such as teamwork, communication, tolerance, patience, resilience and respect.
