Our popular Spider Tots sessions for children aged 3 & 4 take place -indoor- at Holyrood Sports Centre each Saturday morning from 10am until 11am. To take part all you need to bring with you is gym shoes, t-shirt and shorts, a non-fizzy drink and a smile. The children enjoy a football based session which includes fun games, aerobic activity and simple skill activities which help to develope motor skills, generic movement and physical literacy. To book a place please call us on 0141 632 1275 or email community@queensparkfc.co.uk. Please note: the parent or responsible adult of each child must be present for the duration of this session. Remember, the first session is free.
Age 5 & 6
Children of this age are asked to attend Holyrood Sports Centre from 9am until 10am. This busy session, in line with the older age groups, focusses on a different coaching theme each week, designed to improve individual technique and give a simple insight to the game. Ranging from passing, shooting and so on, the coaches put the players through their paces before introducing small sided games giving the players the chance to express themselves.
Age 7-11 years.
Young players of this age are catered for at our Lesser Hampden training facility which is accessed from Somerville Drive. We offer two sessions for this group every Saturday; the session from 10am -11am concentrates on delivering a coaching theme which helps develop individual skill, with some game time included also. The session from 11am until 12 noon is purely a games session where the players can put into practise what they have learned in the first session.
Age 12-16 years (youths).
The youth section of the Community program once again focuses on the theme of that particular week. The first hour is spent on coaching and some game time with the second hour being devoted to purely games.
