Football Academy and Team Building for Kids
Football 02 is Fitness 02’s ambitious professional football school, run as an after school club to encourage exercise at an early age and develop football skills. Children aged from 4 - 16 of all abilities can learn the fundamentals of football in a motivational, team-oriented sports environment.
Football O2’s Manager, Fred Deswarte, is the power behind the game, having been a football player in many countries, and a graduate of the French Football Federation. With this background, Football O2 provides a training academy with emphasis on teamwork, club-spirit and overall personal improvement in general health and ability.
Kids learn technical and tactical fundamentals of football to excel at the game, while balancing team priorities and aims. The training philosophy is based on fair-play and respect, while encouraging goal-setting, not only on the pitch, but in life. The sessions are conducted in both English and French, also providing kids with a fun way to improve their language skills and develop cultural tolerance and understanding.
Football is a competitive sport, but the first goal of the programme is the well-being of kids through exercise. The Football 02 Academy aims to balance fun and competition while teaching values that the young players can take with them into adulthood.
Every session will include skills that improve coordination, ball handling skills, tactical and technical principles.
