SupaStrikers: About Us

SupaStrikers is a soccer-based activity session for children aged 2-4 years, which takes the form of weekly INDOOR sessions. As well as learning core football and movement skills, children also develop their awareness of shapes, colours, simple numbers and social skills. Depending upon their age and physical capability, children belong to either MiniStrikers or MegaStrikers (pre-school year). We are affiliated to Gloucestershire PATA (Playgroup and Toddler Association). Our coaching teams are CRB-checked and have genuine experience of working with this age group, as well as football coaching skills. We usually work with a maximum group size of 10-12 children of a similar age (depending upon the venue), although Saturday morning sessions may contain higher numbers. However, to ensure individual attention for each child, our maximum ratio is 6 children per coach.

Therefore:

If your child was born between 01/09/2005 and 31/08/2006, please contact us to discuss joining MEGASTRIKERS immediately (subject to availability)
If your child was born between 01/09/2006 and 31/08/2007, please contact us to discuss joining MINISTRIKERS immediately (subject to availability) or telephone us after 1st July if you are wishing to commence in MegaStrikers from September (on a confirmed booking basis)
If your child was born on or after 01/09/2007 & on or before 29/02/2008, you now can book a place to start MINISTRIKERS from September 2010 (subject to availability.
If your child was born on or after 01/03/2008, please telephone us from 1st July 2010 to discuss a trial session* for him/her as soon as a place is available. (age bands updated 10th June 2010)

NB that for children aged two and a half (or older) at the time of starting, payment and a completed enrolment form is required to reserve a place, although our Money-Back Guarantee applies if you change your mind up to 7 days after your first 'completed' session (see our information pack for full details of Money-Back Guarantee).

* If your child will be under two and a half years at the time of starting, rather than us accepting a confirmed booking, you will be invited to attend a trial session as soon as a place is potentially available. Please note that we will only be able to arrange a trial session if your child is already 2 years old and meets any of the criteria outlined above. This is in order that parents, coaches (and child!) can determine whether SupaStrikers is right for your child at that point in time or whether it is better to delay starting for a little while. Being 2 years old is no guarantee that a trial session WILL be offered, if the average age of the group is such that we feel the age difference would be too great. Being 2 1/2 years old does not guarantee that a confirmed place WILL be offered, if the average age of the group is such that we feel the age difference would be too great. We take this approach to ensure that each child is ready for the structured nature of our sessions and therefore enjoys coming - this may mean that the start date you are hoping for is not immediately available.

We believe children learn best through having fun, therefore, our sessions are lively and interactive. Stability within the group is also important, therefore, we operate on a membership basis to ensure that the children see familiar faces each time. Parents/Carers are encouraged to join in, especially with the younger MiniStrikers. The programme and equipment are specifically designed for this age group, and there is no ‘heavy’ coaching. However, members will learn lots of skills that will really benefit their future physical and sporting development. Progression to the main Andy Tucker Soccer Camps (or to one of our partner organisations) will be a natural next step for many members.
