Our Approach

There are so many benefits to regular sporting activity at any age. Your child will immediately feel the rush of endorphins after a good run around, but sport offers so many more benefits. With our Saturday Sports Skills sessions, physical benefits are a given. But our sports course will help make sure your child’s mental health is in good shape too. The carefully-tailored courses help build confidence and self-esteem, as well as focusing on teamwork and respect for others. And your child is sure to forge new friendships while learning essential life skills along the way.

Our approach encourages healthy competition and good sportsmanship. This will allow your child to build resilience and flourish in a safe and encouraging environment. Our aim is to help your child find a real interest in sport which they can take with them for life and pursue future opportunities to develop their potential.

Our Sports

Over the course of the year, your child will enjoy a range of dynamic sports, including hockey, football, netball, tag rugby, athletics and cricket. The different sports, which feature many different skill sets, are introduced in a way that is accessible to everyone, from children who train every week to those who have never held a ball before.

Our programme runs on a termly basis with three 10-week terms each year. Each term, our coaches will focus on two different sports and the fundamental skills required to play them. Additionally, they will draw out transferable skills that can be carried over from one sport to the next, including ball handling, dodging and marking, and coordination.

Our Facilities

Saturday Sports Skills makes use of our fantastic facilities at Highfield and Brookham. Our first-rate facilities include an all-weather astro pitch, tennis and netball courts, cricket pitches and athletics fields, and so much more. And should we face bad weather, we simply move to our indoor sports hall, so the course can run regardless of the unpredictable English weather.

The fantastic team of coaches have many years of experience teaching sport to children and they are hugely passionate about building children’s confidence through their enjoyment of sport.

Our Sessions

Children will be kept busy with a variety of games throughout each session. We ensure every activity is tailored to your child’s age and ability.

The 5 and 6-year-olds will enjoy exercises to help develop core fundamental skills such as balance, coordination, movement and control. Smaller groups allow our coaches to adapt their approach and deliver a suitable level of challenge for your child.

The 7 and 8-year-olds will develop the core skills further and work towards more specific techniques required to play a range of different sports. Your child with have the opportunity to put all they have learnt into practice by playing mini matches at end of term of each term.
