Saturday Team Scheme

"What a great day! The coaching was professional with a great deal of fun and we were amazed how fast the 6 hours went! I would recommend the matchday to any football, school or youth group."

Jim McManus (Youth Worker and Schools Football Coach)

"I really enjoyed the Southend United training day. The training was really good and the activities were really fun."

Sam (Age 9)

"I thought that the day was well organised and the Southend Coaching Staff held the kids interest for the duration of the training. They also looked after them during pre-match at Roots Hall as well with a meal and helping the kids to get the players autographs"

Bob Dallow (Father of child who attended the Saturday Team Scheme)

"Had a brilliant day. Loved the coaching and sitting with all my mates watching the match."

Cameron (Age 9)

"What a fantastic day! Our son received excellent training advice and enjoyed every single minute. A great, fun day for children and parents alike."

Bryan and Diane Fogg (Parents of child who attended the Saturday Team Scheme)

 

Fun and Enjoyment

 

‘Match of the Day’ starts at 11.30am with two hours of quality coaching conducted by our skilled coaches.  The sessions take place at the new Playfootball.net piches at The Chase High which is a 5 minute drive from Roots Hall Stadium.  We can also organise the package to be held at your school.

 

The coaching consists of many different aspects of football i.e. dribbling, shooting, turning with the ball etc.  The sessions are made up from activities that improve individual skill but also team work and team performance.

 

The team will then be put into a game situation where the coach will work on positioning, support etc.

 

 

After the two hours coaching the team, along with managers and parents, will make their way to the stadium where everybody will receive a ticket for the game, and an official match day programme.
