GROUP CLOSURES w/c 14 DECEMBER (UPDATED 10.30am on 17 December): There will be NO sessions at Stroud TODAY (Thursday 17th December).

SUPASTRIKERS BIRTHDAY PARTIES:
We run 4th Birthday football-themed parties which are now open to everyone and not just members (subject to availability of dates/coaches). Our parties range from £45.00 - £70.00 for up to 12 children (extra numbers up to 20 at additional charge). They comprise a mixture of active games, supervised playtime and football skills games, and are suitable for boys and girls of ALL abilities, even if they have never been to SupaStrikers before.
FREE PLAYGROUP/TODDLER GROUP TASTER SESSIONS:
If you run either a Playgroup or a Mums & Toddlers group, we may be able to offer you a FREE 45 minute taster session. You will need a hall-sized area and must have a minimum of 12 children who would take part. If you qualify for a free taster, all we ask in return is that you display one of our A4 posters on your notice board AND give one of our fliers to each of your members. We also offer ongoing visits, with prices per visit ranging from £35-£45 depending upon frequency etc.
ABOUT SUPASTRIKERS
Established by Andy Tucker Soccer Camps in 2006, we have already had over 2000 members attending weekly sessions, Playgroup sessions and birthday parties. 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. Where possible, we usually work with a maximum ratio of 1 Coach:6 Children* and most of our groups are maximum of 12 children (Saturday sessions run at larger venues with higher numbers, although the coaching ratio is maintained). We also ensure that children are only with others of a very similar age.
* When there are 8 or fewer children at a new venue, we may run with only one
coach until membership numbers increase
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.
