The cost is only 1 per child each Saturday. If you would like more information or to register your child in the mini soccer programme please feel free to contact the club secretary, Stephen Magill, on 07832222658 or you can just turn up on the day. The mini soccer is for kids aged from 5-10 years old.

The benefits of mini soccer include: More touches of the ball to increase participation and enjoyment; fewer players on the pitch meaning simpler decisions and better understanding; smaller pitches meaning greater concentration and interest among participants; more individual success leads to more children playing. In the long term, this leads to sustained participation levels beyond this age group.

The mini soccer programme allows kids to meet new friends, take part in small sided games and also allows them to be part of a team and improve their skills and techniques.

All coaches are certified by the IFA's Child Protection scheme, with the club’s head coach, George McCallister (UEFA B licence), overseeing activities.
