The Little Saints Coaching Academy resumes.

September 5th is registration day and we are open to take names from 12noon to 2pm at our Clubhouse which is located at;

St. KEVIN’S FOOTBALL CLUB CLUBHOUSE

         Larkhill Road / Crestfield Road Whitehall

D09 HY42.

Our Academy is widely regarded as one of the best in the country as an introduction to the game of soccer for boys and girls from 4 to 8 years of age.

Registration is open all season long – each Saturday at the above address at 1.15pm

Our aim is to provide the very best football coaching for young children. Many players who have started their football journey at this basic level here with us have gone on to be household names in Irish football while others have played the game at a level they felt comfortable with –

but this is where it all starts.

Each child’s enjoyment and the fun they have at our sessions is what we have built our reputation on and has been vital to our success over the years.

All sessions are devised by our head coaches overseen by a qualified lead-coach along with other coaches and assisted by parents.

The goal at this early stage is to introduce children to the basic concepts of football.

We also try to help the children develop their social skills, interact with other children and most importantly, have fun!

We try to help each child learn the basics of the game while at the same time ensuring every player enjoys each session with activities to keep them interested with plenty of time on the ball and individual coaching, as well as interacting with other children with whom they will become friends.

Congratulations and good luck to former SKFC player David Okagbue who has swapped the red of Walsall FC for the blue of

Peterborough United in a transfer completed yesterday which sees him move up to League 1 for the coming season.

At 21 years of age he has nearly 100 appearances made in the EFL and this move will be the next step on the ladder for him to

achieve his potential at the  highest level.

Also on the move is Evan Ferguson who has moved to top Serie A club Roma on loan from Brighton to try and re-ignite his top class career – best of luck to him.

Goalkeeper Josh Keeley has moved from Leyton Orient – where he was on loan from Spurs – to Luton Town in a permanent transfer.

Sean Grehan will start this new season at Doncaster Rovers following his transfer from Bohemians where he was on loan from Crystal Palace.

Posh boss Darren Ferguson said: “David is a player we have been keeping an eye on for a little while. He is at a good age with lots of room for improvement and development.

“What he will add is pace and physicality to our defensive unit, which is something I was looking for, and he has good experience of playing a whole season with Walsall in League Two.

“He came through the ranks at Stoke City, so (Posh coach) Kevin Russell knows him very well. I see a lot of potential in the boy. He is not the finished article, but he is never going to be at the age of 21.

“He is an exciting young player we are excited to work with, but he has the added bonus of raw pace and physicality.”
