Foundation Programme and U7 Team Programme 2025/26

The Foundation Programme is for boys and girls aged 4-7, designed by our Technical Director Andrew Bascome, our B Licence Coaches and the late Jacques Crevoisier, Senior Director in the UEFA Technical Department and ex-national coach for France, in charge of grassroots football implementation in 55 UEFA countries.

Our objective is for young players to develop a relationship with the ball, with their team mates, and to gain motor skills and football awareness through fun activities and small sided games.

This helps young players to be confident and to interact with other participants. It’s also a great opportunity for the children to make friends.

Andrew Bascome will lead the sessions supported staff coaches and youth players from our program..
