St Albans fun skills sessions

In St Albans we run skills sessions for Reception-age children up to Year 4.

We always keep the emphasis on fun, because that’s how kids learn best and grow to love football. In a structured but pressure-free environment, we use games and activities to reinforce coaching points and improve core skills.

For training sessions for other age groups, call head coach David Williams on 07905 557535.
