This Friday will be week 9 of the 10 weeks which you have signed up for. The last week of the 10 weeks will be 2nd of December. After that date there will be major changes to the structure of the Strachan Soccer Schools and the way it has been run.

We have considered feedback from all parents regarding location, times and quality of coaching. We will have  new Head Coach in place which will be Chay Thompson who is an experience coach who is currently working with Former Coventry City Youth Team Manager George Mackie and former Coventry City and Celtic Manager Gordon Strachan on a full time basis. Chay has designed curriculum which will help develop young players who have the opportunity to become better more rounded players with better technical ability.

Strachan Soccer School aim is to make their sessions as enjoyable and help develop players all round game. We have arranged to have 3 Coaches per coaching session which means your child will have more coaching than ever before.

We are currently looking for a new location and times which will be suitable for everybody involved with the Strachan Soccer Schools. The NEW location and times will be confirmed before the 2nd of December. The sessions will be an hour long and we are currently in the proccess of changing times and location to suit parents.
