Brazilian Soccer Schools and Socatots, the football coaching programmes run by Ashford Borough Council, are back for the new term with some exciting new programmes on offer for the borough’s youngsters…and oldies!

Brazilian Soccer Schools, whose unique coaching methods are enjoyed by around 400 children per week in Ashford, start their new term of evening and Saturday morning sessions for 5 to 16 year olds on Monday 8 September.

The 90 minute sessions offer great value at just £4. Please call 01233 896511 for full details.

New for this year, the Brazillian Soccer Schools have an exciting new Freestyling course, running for 6 weeks from 15 September, with freestyler Jack Morison passing on the tricks of the trade. The course cost is £25.

And if you’re looking for more personal tuition that can help to make rapid improvements in ability, confidence and fitness, the soccer schools are also offering Individual Coaching sessions, teaching students on a one-to-one basis. This follows a very successful pilot scheme that has been running over the summer. For more information, please call 07867 506954.

And the fun is not just for youngsters with BSS now offering Monday night sessions for adults. The 2 hour sessions are excellent for fitness, maintaining or regaining skills and there’s also the opportunity to be selected for Ashford’s Futsal team who will compete in the Kent Futsal League this season.

For pre school children the popular Socatots programme begins again on 8 September with midweek sessions at Sandyacres and Saturdays at Courtside. The sessions offer the first introduction to football skills in a fun environment where colour and number recognition are also included in the unique syllabus. Call Emma on 01233 896511 for full details.

A completely free term of Socatots sessions is being offered to non walkers aged 6 months and above on Monday mornings at Courtside. To grab this fantastic opportunity email Ben Moyle.
