The Program:
It offers an engaging and enjoyable experience for kids aged 5 to 12 years old, led by our experienced BUAFC Skill Centre and Fun Football Coaches. If we have enough girls register, we will aim to hold special girls-only sessions, aimed at empowering young female players to shine on the pitch, however this will be run on a day by day basis and be in reponse to the number of Girls registered and wanting to play in girls only groups.
Expect a blend of games, challenges, and tournaments designed to foster skill development and, most importantly, enjoyment. The majority of our program is conducted outdoors, ensuring ample fresh air and exercise, while our Birko coaches ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.
But that’s not all! Get ready for an extra dose of excitement! Enrol your child in our School Holiday Program, and they'll automatically enter to win incredible prizes, thanks to Livewire Super Park Birkenhead!
