Skill Centres

Oxford United in the Community’s Skills Centres offers starter-level technical coaching to girls and boys of any ability from 5-11.

Skills Centres provide a fun, player-centred environment in which young people will be encouraged to be creative and inventive in their football development. The programme offers a way to improve technical skills for those new to football, as well as to members of competitive grassroots or school teams.

Weekly sessions focus on improving the ability of each player in areas such as ball mastery, passing, dribbling, turning & shooting. The key principles of attacking, defending and reading the game are developed through 1v1, 2v2 and small-sided games.

Our coaching staff are fully FA qualified and have up to date qualifications including safeguarding, first aid and DBS checks.

Players progressing well from both of the age groups may be given the opportunity to trial for our Development Centre.

Sessions are currently running on Wednesdays at

• Oxford United Training Ground (ages 5-8, 9-11)
• Witney 3G (ages 5-8, 9-11)
• Haddenham Community Junior School (ages 9-11)
