Will my child’s football skills improve?
We sincerely hope so. However, as well as working on their general skill levels, your child will be develop their ability to read the game, learn how to solve problems, improve their communication and fitness levels and find out how to Play the Arsenal Way!
Do the children get to play competitive matches?
In order to play competitive matches, players are required to sign-up for our soccer school leagues that take place on Friday afternoons and evenings.
What will my child need to bring to practice?
Upon registration, your child will receive a kit bag containing two sets of playing kit and a water bottle. In addition, your child will need to bring footwear suitable for an Astroturf pitch (moulded studs, trainers or blades) and to make sure that they wear shin-guards for all coaching sessions. In hot weather, sun cream and a hat or cap are always a good idea.
What happens if my child gets injured?
All of our coaches are first-aid trained and there is also a staff member on site to deal with injuries and emergencies in our well-equipped medical room.

Emergency contact numbers for all players are kept on file should they be required.
