GrassRoots

About Us

 

Grass Roots Football Coaching was formed in May 2006 by a group of enthusiastic coaches who felt they could offer top quality, professional coaching to kids of all ages and abilities.

 

GRFC holds coaching for boys and girls aged 2-15yrs old all year round. Whether your a complete beginner or a regular superstar we can promise to help improve your game in a fun, safe and professional coaching environment.

 

We now have a range of sessions including open sessions, advanced training, match nights as well as coaching for local clubs and schools.

In 2008 we teamed up with Sprint Start, a not for profit organisation founded by Iwan Thomas to help introduce children to healthy eating and lifestyles. Based at Trojans sports club we have combined our skills to niot only offer Football courses but also a fantastic multi sports course with the option of a healthy breakfast and lunch, Sprint Start help to teach everyone how to make their own tastey and healthy meals as well as why we need to do it!

 

We believe we cater for all ages and abilities, our sessions are a great mix of fun, disciplined excecises, football and multi sport skills, confidence building and social interaction.

 

Whether your in the advanced group and play for a team or just enjoy your sports and activities all children will get the same high levels of coaching from our staff.

The GrassRoots Football coaches take care and pride in the development of all children who attend our courses.

Each session is planned and well thought out giving the children an objective to work towards. Our coaches don't look for the child that can run the ball around the other team or that scores all the goals, they look for individual and team progression from what has been coached in previous sessions, and plan the individuals needs for future coaching sessions.

 

Though we pride ourselves on coaching for all
End of course Prizes!we are proud to coach severel players who have been scouted by premiership and championship clubs.

These players now train with Chelsea, Southampton and Portsmouth as well as attending Grass Roots coaching sessions.


 

 

 

Wide Lane Sports Ground is situated opposite Eastleigh Parkway Train Station, near Eastleigh airport.

This is just 2 minutes from J5 of the M27 and has train and bus stops within 500 yards of the centre.

 

The site was re-opened in October 2005 after a multi million pound investment by the football Foundation.

The site now boasts one of the most advanced artificial training pitches available in the country, and its right in front of the new clubhouse so the viewing area is great rain or shine!

 

The pitches are fully fenced and secure, and never flood or freeze so you get brilliant all year round training without the muddy boots!

 

Take a look at our Venue page for more information and the location of all our pitches.
