Football Coaching Programmes
Socatots 
Socatots is the world’s first soccer play programme for
pre-school children. Socatots is a unique fun based concept aimed
at giving children their very first start with the ball.
Our aim is to help encourage all aspects of mental and physical
development using football as a medium.
All Socatots equipment is specially designed
for children to develop agility, balance and co-ordination. From
skittles, hoops and beanbags to specially designed balls.
The sessions feature:
- Specially designed equipment
- Parental participation
- Qualified coaching staff
- Great fun in a playful yet educational atmosphere.
Ashford Borough Council was one of the
first Socatots franchises in the country and has
been running since 2004.
We run sessions throughout the week and on Saturdays at
excellent venues around Ashford. We believe our course and
membership fees offer excellent value for money. For more
information and an application form please see below.
Brazilian Soccer School (BSS) 
We hear it all the time ‘English players lack the technical
ability of their Brazilian, Spanish, Italian, Dutch
counterparts...’
Brazilian Soccer School (BSS) Ashford was established in 2001
and is one of the longest running in the country. Working with
around 400 players a week, BSS Ashford has an excellent track
record of progressing players into pro club academies.
Our coaching focuses on improving the technical ability of young
footballers. We have over 200 skills to learn, many named after
famous Brazilian players of the past and present.
For developing quick feet, close dribbling and short passing
skills, we have found nothing better than the specially weighted
Futebol de Salão ball.
Children at BSS spend roughly two-thirds of their time working with
the size 2 Futebol de Salão balls and the remaining third with a
conventional ball working on areas such as longer passing,
shooting, heading and, of course, match situations.
As well as working in schools and with clubs, we hold regular
weekly sessions at our fantastic base of Courtside and Pitchside
(3G artificial turf pitch) at Stanhope Road, Ashford. We believe
our sessions offer excellent value for money. For more information
and an application form please see below.
