“The children are always keen and happy to join in with the weekly football sessions. The games are fun and interactive. They are age- appropriate and very engaging. The coaches incorporate football skills that they want to teach through a chosen theme. This works well as its very child friendly and captivating. The coaches are gentle and caring and the children have built a great, trusting relationship with them. Reception class thoroughly enjoy their weekly football sessions with their wonderful coaches.”

“Working with Abdullah from Bloomsbury Football has been great. Since starting with us at Ark Atwood he has helped the children's confidence in football, consolidating basic but essential skills each week, challenging them with their technique and speed at every opportunity. He has had a big impact on our girls in particular, sparking a greater interest in football among out KS2 students. Most recently, Abdullah has begun working with our year 2's and has made really good adaptations to the same skills, breaking them down and slowing down to give the smaller students time to develop their ball control. He has embedded himself in our school routines, using our call and responses so that children are familiar and responsive when he is teaching. We are so grateful for the opportunity given to us by Bloomsbury Football and hope to establish a long-term working relationship”
