Funsize Football Ethos
Our programmes run throughout the school year, providing an exciting and enriching football experience for children in the pre-school, junior infant and senior infant groups. With a greater focus on skill development, strategy, and teamwork, our senior section engages in thrilling small-sided games that hone their abilities and foster a love for the sport.
Fun Games
For our youngest football enthusiasts in the junior and senior infant groups, we believe in making every session enjoyable and engaging. We introduce various fun games that instill a love for the sport from the very beginning. These games are designed to promote coordination, agility, and teamwork, nurturing their budding passion for football.
The Benefits of Small-Sided Games
As our children progress into the senior section, we emphasize the importance of small-sided games (3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 matches) as a vital part of their football development. These games have numerous benefits that contribute to their growth as athletes
1. Increased Involvement: In smaller matches, each player has more opportunities to be involved in the action, leading to more touches on the ball and improved skill development.
2. Enhanced Decision-Making: Small-sided games demand quick thinking and decision-making from players, enabling them to develop strategic awareness and problem-solving skills on the field.
3. Improved Fitness and Conditioning: With continuous movement and higher intensity, players in small-sided games experience improved physical fitness and endurance.
4. Develops Versatile Skills: In smaller teams, players often take on various roles, leading to a well-rounded skill set and adaptability in different positions.
5. More Touches on the Ball: The increased frequency of touches on the ball during small-sided matches helps improve dribbling, passing, and shooting abilities.
6. Teamwork and Communication: Players learn to communicate effectively and work together as a cohesive unit, fostering a strong sense of teamwork.
At Funsize Football, our focus on small-sided games ensures that each child experiences a holistic and enjoyable football journey, setting the stage for their continued growth and success in the sport.
