ABOUT SUPASTRIKERS
Established by Andy Tucker Soccer Camps in 2006, we currently have already had over 950 members attending weekly sessions, as well as an active Playgroups and birthday parties programme. There are three main reasons you can join SupaStrikers with 100% confidence:
No.
1 Genuine expertise in working with this age group. We are
members of PATA, a national organisation who support those working
with younger children to ensure high standards. Our approach will complement that of good playgroups and nurseries etc. We only employ coaches
who genuinely WANT to work with this age group. In
addition to football courses, all of our coaches complete specialist training
courses to develop their expertise
in working with these age groups. Unlike some activities, we work with a maximum ratio of 1 Coach:6 Children and a maximum of 18 children (although most groups are maximum of 12 children). We also ensure that children are only with others of a very similar age.
No.
2 Attached to ongoing Football programmes. Each SupaStrikers Licensed Coach or Franchise-owner either operates or is in association with a high-quality football coaching programme aimed at school-aged children. This means that as our SupaStrikers members become too old for us, there is always a 'natural progression' route for them to continue enjoying their football development. For many Members in Gloucestershire, the link is still to Andy Tucker Soccer Camps, who originated SupaStrikers. However, we also work in association with programmes run by our Licensed Coaches in North Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.
No.
3 Football credibility - the children genuinely develop basic ball control skills that will give them an advantage when they join teams in later years. Cheltenham Captain, John Finnigan is enthusiastic about SupaStrikers,
saying, “There are fewer English players
playing in the premiership, as they do not have the technical skills
to compete with the best players from abroad. I really believe that
programmes such as SupaStrikers will help produce more homegrown talent
playing at the highest levels. I wish SupaStrikers had been around
when I was a child!”.
Therefore, please have a look around our website to find out more, or contact us to either book a place or ask any questions you may have.
