Our exciting schools programme provides fun and motivating opportunities for everyone involved!

Brazilian Soccer Schools Skills (BSS) programmes are aimed at children between the ages of 4-16. The emphasis on the coaching programmes is the development of self-confidence, and improving the fundamentals of movement, co-ordination, balance and flexibility.

During the sessions our aim is to enable children to achieve harmony with the ball using Samba Music to accompany the exercises with the ball. This style of teaching emanates from its Brazilian roots as each drill demands a development of rhythm. The programme has now evolved into the most complete development programme of any sport anywhere in the world. The BSS syllabus covers every area of football and whilst our coaching is by no means exclusively Brazilian for developing quick feet, close dribbling and passing skills we have found nothing better than Futebol de Salão. Futebol de Salão is a 5-a-side version of football of South American origin that is played with a smaller size 2, heavier ball that has virtually no bounce.

Our Regional Training Base at The New Gosling Sports Football Centre can host events, school days and tournaments. 

Programs are developed in partnership with Leeds Met Carnegie University the leading university for coaching and learning, and schools can choose from these different types of delivery:

• Full day or half day special events e.g. National Sports Week/World Cup – held at schools or our Regional Base
• Curriculum classes from Reception to Sixth Form
• Session blocks 5 to 10 week programmes
• Skills Badge Scheme Assessment
• Team Training
• Inclusive sessions
• Enrichment Sessions
