FootieBugs has been developed by heath experts and educational professionals to offer unique and fun football classes for children aged three to eleven years. Classes for pre-school children are based around stories and imagination; children learn through play and develop their skills as without even realising it. For the older children we still focus on fun, using skill based games, ending with some match play. Our coaches are trained to offer positive encouragement throughout and we offer incentives for children rewarding them not only for ability, but for effort and attitude in the class. FootieBugs promotes individuality and encourages this through building confidence and self assurance. We ensure that children enhance their core skills by playing and learning together with their peers.As such, the FootieBugs programmes are designed age appropriately offering a clear step by step activity based programme that can be accessed by all. Together this encourages children to maximise their knowledge and understanding, their eagerness to participate and be part of a team and above all enables children to develop to their full potential.The FootieBugs team includes professional footballers and individuals experienced in working with young children. All FootieBugs coaches are FA qualified, professionally trained, passionate about football and are suitably screened to ensure child protection standards are upheld.
