BASINGSTOKE TOWN FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY PROJECT

Curriculum Time Coaching
The scheme offers local schools the chance to receive coaching during curriculum time. A qualified FA coach employed by the club can visit your school with all the necessary equipment for a minimum of six weeks.

The flexible approach adopted by our staff ensures the sessions to be adapted to the age group sizes and the facility provided by the school.

This service provides an ideal opportunity for teaching staff to learn new skills, which can support their own teaching of this activity.

After Schools and
Lunch Time Coaching Clubs
This is a service available to local schools. These clubs are run on a six week block period which consists of FA qualified coaches visiting schools at lunch time, or at the end of the school day, to coach boys and girls the skills and techniques of the game. All the necessary equipment will be provided; all we ask is that you provide the children and the facility.

After School Clubs can also use the club’s Astroturf facilities during winter months providing the children can be transported to the Camrose ground.

Holiday Coaching Courses
Young people can make the most of their holiday time by attending a variety of soccer courses throughout the year.

The courses are usually for 2 days and provide an exciting way for young people to learn skills and techniques in a safe and friendly environment.

The courses are run for children in the age groups 6 to 9 and 10 to 12 years.

Coaching by FA qualified coaches. Fun and educational practices for football skills. Funweek certificate. FA official England Team poster. Complimentary Matchday ticket. Personal accident insurance cover. Making new friends!

Advanced After School Clubs
