Higher Football is a Christian-based programme of eight sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, aimed primarily at children aged 8 to 11 – though with a little tweaking the age range can be extended at both the lower and higher end.

Each session has a football focus with the children being actively involved in playing. There are warm-up activities and specific exercises designed to increase the participants’ understanding, skill and enjoyment of the game. But this is not a specialist sports course, rather it is taking children’s love of sport and integrating these into a church’s outreach programme.
