what we develop
Football skills that last.
The Foundation Program follows the AFC LTPD framework – a globally proven approach to developing young footballers.
Technical skills
Passing, receiving, dribbling, shooting and heading – the core technical vocabulary of football. We teach in age-appropriate formats, ensuring every child builds competence at their own pace.
Game understanding
Small-sided games (3v3, 4v4, 5v5) give children maximum ball touches and game decisions in every session. Kids learn tactical concepts like positioning, pressing and transition through play, not lectures.
Teamwork and communication
Playing with a team requires listening, adapting and trusting others. These sessions are intentionally structured to develop cooperation and communication – skills that transfer directly to school and life.
Discipline and respect
Every session begins and ends with a structured routine. Players greet coaches, opponents and teammates. Respect for the game, the space and each other is non-negotiable from the first day.
the approach
Structured. Safe. Joyful.
The Foundation years (ages 6 to 12) are when a child's relationship with sport is formed. Get the environment right and a child will love the game for life. Get it wrong – pressure, early specialisation, adult-style competition – and you lose them before they truly begin.
At The Football School, we never use the Foundation Program as a talent filter. Every child deserves quality coaching. Every child is taught the right way to play. Development, not selection, is the goal.
Our sessions are structured with a clear warm-up, technical practice, and a small-sided game. Coaches debrief with players at the end of every session. Every child knows what they did well and what to work on next.
questions
Foundation Program FAQs.
What age is the Foundation Program for?
The Foundation Program is designed for children aged 6 to 12. This is the most important stage of football development – where children move from pure play to structured learning of the game.
Does my child need prior football experience?
No. The Foundation Program welcomes complete beginners. Children who have played before will be placed in groups appropriate to their level. We assess every child in the first free session.
How long are Foundation sessions?
Foundation sessions are 60 minutes long, three times a week – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Children typically attend all three sessions per week.
What is the coach-to-child ratio?
The Foundation Program maintains a 1 to 12 coach-to-child ratio. This ensures every child receives regular individual attention, feedback and coaching throughout the session.
Will there be matches or tournaments?
Yes. Foundation students participate in structured intra-school games and occasional inter-school tournaments. Competition is introduced carefully and always in a learning context – never at the expense of development.
