COACHING FOOTBALL for ENJOYMENT

Ex-QPR goalkeeper Peter Hucker began his first soccer schools 9 years ago and they have been going from strength to strength ever since.

As we have all witnessed recently, English football has been in a bit of a mess in terms of basic skills.  Under the remit of the FA, coaches have been asked to provide proper instruction in all areas of football – understanding, teamwork, sportsmanship etc – as well as the basic skills of the game.  That certainly is our aim at peterhucker-soccer but with the emphasis on fun.  We are not about hot-housing talent for the professional game or finding the next Beckham; we just want children – of all ages, of all abilities, from all backgrounds – to enjoy the world’s greatest game.

peterhucker-soccer offers expert coaching in their after school soccer clubs. Already in 24 East London schools, the aim is to put in place a coaching structure for boys and girls, to help them develop their interest in the game and to improve their football abilities to their maximum.

Our coaches will come into your school and run a structured 1 hour session for between 20 and 28 boys and girls, from year 2 to year 6. We provide everything from balls and bibs, to goals if needed.
 

Sessions are for BOYS & GIRLS of ALL abilities and are not confined to those who are good at football - we follow the maxim "Just because you're not good at something it doesn't mean you don't want to play".  Placing players within their own ability groups they develop confidence as well as skills making for even competition, all sessions end with a small-sided game.  Sessions cost as little as £2.50 per person paid on the day and only when players attend a session.

How does it benefit schools?

It provides an extra curricular activity, which takes up little time of your staff;
we teach players not only the basic skills but also about fair play, respecting officials and opponents; AND, most of all, how to have fun playing the world's favourite game.

Our coaches are fully trained, and most are members of the FA Coaches Association (FACA), and all have a real love of the game.  Their remit is to pass on their knowledge, enthusiasm and enjoyment.

Our Saturday morning soccer school runs for all ages between 5 and 16 boys and girls across ALL ability ranges. Sessions ALWAYS involve some form of skills coaching, which usually lasts about 30 minutes: we don’t just play a game of football that's what parks are for!

Our aim is to give every child who comes along a thorough grounding in the essential skills of the game.  Every session, though, does end with a game, based on age group and ability; this gives the coaches a chance to assess skills, aptitude and physical development.  When ready the children will be encouraged to take up team participation in local leagues.

Our motto is:
"IF IT ISN'T FUN IT ISN'T FOOTBALL"
