Albany Football Hub Skill Centre – Ages 6+
Our Skill Centre is designed for players who want to improve their football skills in a fun but more focused training environment.
It sits nicely between our Mega Kickers sessions and the Development Programme, making it ideal for players who want more touches on the ball while building technique, confidence and game understanding.
Sessions focus on key football skills such as dribbling, passing, turning, first touch and finishing through engaging activities and small sided games.
Players are grouped by age and ability where possible, and groups remain flexible so children can move up or down if coaches feel it better suits their development.
Experienced 5 year olds are welcome to trial.
Skill Centre Curriculum
Our Skill Centre follows a rotating training curriculum across the term, helping players build strong core football skills. Sessions focus on areas such as ball mastery, dribbling, turning, first touch, passing, finishing and 1v1 attacking.
We follow a whole part whole coaching approach, meaning sessions often begin with small sided games, move into skill based activities and challenges, and then return to game play so players can apply what they have learned in realistic match situations.
This approach keeps sessions engaging while helping players develop confidence and understanding of the game.
Programme Highlights
• Improve ball control and confidence on the ball
• Learn key football techniques in a supportive environment
• Lots of touches on the ball every session
• Small sided games and skill challenges
Training Environment
Players are encouraged to wear a black Football Fix training top to help create a professional training environment. If you do not have one yet, any plain black training top is absolutely fine.
Arrival
Players can arrive from 4:00 PM and will normally head straight over to their group on the pitch. Coaches will guide players if they are unsure where to go.
Groups are organised by age and ability but remain fluid, If a player feels uncomfortable in a group, please let us know and we can adjust things.
From time to time we may encourage players who are progressing well to **try an older group** to help challenge and develop them further.
Please remember to sign in and out on the tablet upon arrival and departure.
Rain or Shine
Our venue is all weather so sessions usually go ahead in the rain. Please bring a rain jacket just in case.
If a session is ever cancelled due to severe weather we will notify families and post updates on @albanyfootballhub.
