About
Derby County Community Trust’s popular Holiday Coaching courses run across Derbyshire venues during all school holidays for primary aged children.
They provide football activities at affordable prices to keep your children active and healthy while they’re off school.
The courses are interactive and work on skills and drills for all abilities in a safe and enjoyable environment. There are chances to play in tournaments, make new friends and have fun, all led by our qualified coaching team.
Football courses are based around well-known cups and competitions, giving participants the chance tor represent different teams and countries throughout the week, with daily medal and certificate winners!
We advise that children come equipped with anything they made need throughout the day, whether that’s a sun hat for summer if we choose to use outdoors or an extra layer in the winter.
All participants should bring their own packed lunch and labelled water bottle and we advise against bringing any valuables to the session.
All children can be left unattended for the full duration of the day as all our coaching staff hold relevant qualifications and Enhanced DBS certificates.
