Blue Advanced SENIOR Skills Session

Blue Advanced Senior – Trail Riding Sessions (Ages 13-16) This is a new style Blue Advanced Senior session, designed primarily for riders aged 13-16. This session has been introduced to allow riders of similar ages and ability to ride together, this may also include some Red ability riders. These sessions are focused more heavily on off site riding, exploring the wider network of natural trails across the Surrey Hills. Riders should enjoy trail riding and be keen to cover longer distances in a group environment. IMPORTANT – Fitness & Distance Requirement This session is strictly for Blue ability riders who are able to cycle a minimum of 6 miles with a good level of fitness. Sessions will regularly involve longer off site trail rides, and it is important that your child is comfortable with this distance. Ensuring riders meet this requirement helps keep the group together and makes the ride far more enjoyable for everyone. These sessions are designed for riders who have already secured strong basic bike skills and are ready to progress further.

FOOTBALL ACADEMY Blue U12’s Session

This mixed ability football session is designed specifically for Blue group players which are age grouped as U12’s who are looking to develop their technical ability, improve game understanding and build confidence in more competitive and game-realistic situations. Sessions are tailored to this age group, with experienced coaches delivering engaging, challenging and enjoyable practices that support both individual development and team play. Players will be grouped appropriately on the day to ensure everyone is working at the right level and progressing at their own pace. The focus for this group is on refining core technical skills such as dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting and first touch, while introducing more advanced elements such as speed of play, decision making, movement off the ball and awareness in game situations. Players will be challenged through a mix of technical drills, skill-based exercises, 1v1 and 2v2 challenges, and small sided games. These activities are designed to increase intensity, encourage quick thinking and help players apply their skills under pressure in realistic match scenarios. Our aim is simple: fun, progression focused coaching that helps every player leave with improved skills, greater confidence and a bigger understanding of the game. Each session will take place on the Duke of Kent School Astro and grass pitches, providing a high quality environment for both technical development and match play.
