Womens coaching will take place at The Hub sports Centre on a brand new 3G rubber crumb pitch with Shockpad, making it one of the best facilities in Hampshire. Nick Breeze, hants Fa Womens coach will be running the course making it an ideal opportunity to break into cunty squads and teams.

School Coaching Programme

 

GRFC will begin their school coaching programme with Stoke Park Infants.

2 of our coaches will visit the school between 3.30 and 4.30 on Wednesday evenings to run football sessions.

Our coaches are fully qualified and have years of experience from coaching complete beginners to premiership academy levels.

 

The courses are structured around a 10 week course after which each child will receive a 5 point certificate of achievement. Not only does this provide a personal goal for each child but over time gives a good indication of progression levels.

 

Its not just about football! - our coaching techniques are aimed to provide all the players, regardless of ability or potential with a fun, organised, disciplined and social experience. We hope this will help to teach all our players lessons and skills that will be useful throughout their lives.

 

The main aim is fun for all participants in a safe and professional environment but who knows, you could soon be joining some of our regular GRFC students in our advanced classes or even training with likes of Chelsea, Portsmouth or Southampton as several of our existing students already do!

 

Your school will be responsible for enrolling your child and handling payment etc... please contact them for details, however if you have any questions about our coaching or other training sessions, holiday courses, birthday parties, tots coaching etc... please feel free to call or email anytime

 

We are currently discussing schemes with other schools - if you are a school, team or group looking for professional, reliable football coaching schemes please contact us to discuss your needs.

Tots coaching secures Indoor Venue for the Autumn/winter months

 

From Early september the Saturday Morning Tots sessions will take place at The Hub Sports Centre in Fairoak, this is just 5 minutes from the existing outdoor venue where coaching for 5 - 15 yr olds will continue all year round.

 

The Hub has an excellent sports hall and bar facilities so everyone can stay warm and dry and Mums and Dads can grab a cup of tea and maybe 5 minutes peace!

 

We still have availability but operate strictly small class sizes per coach so numbers are limited for this popular and growing class.

 

Please call or email to check availability and to reserve your place.

 

Chelsea U7 tournament - July 2007

 

GRFC were recently asked to take a team of under 7yr olds to a tournament at the Chelsea satellite training centre in aldershot. The regional scout had selected the team from his previous visits to our coaching sessions.

 

The boys had a fantastic day out and won 4 out of 6 games against teams from across the south coast.

 

The chelsea coaches were so impressed 2 boys are now training with them and the coaches are monitoring several more players from Grass Roots.

 

We now coach players who attend extra training with Chelsea, Portsmouth and Southampton football clubs.
