Where we are based
KSI Coaching FC deliver training sessions in Deptford, New cross, Surrey Quays and Bermondsey. We have training venues ranging from grass areas to 3G pitches. See below to see where each team trains in the week.
When you attend our sessions : What you need to bring
Football Boots
When we play on grass or 3g football boots are needed as this gives your child a better grip of the football pitch and avoids your child from slipping and injury.
Water Bottle
You will need a water bottle for your child for them to rehydrate as they will be running around, and we will give them breaks. So, having water will make them rehydrated and ready to go back again
Football kit
You will need to bring football shorts and shirt. As your child will need to get used to wear this kit as when they play matches this is what they will need to wear. Tracksuit bottoms are acceptable for training only
Shinpads
This is an essential in order to prevent your child from getting serious injury as football is a full contact sport.
Goalkeeper gloves (Opitional)
This is something that would be needed especially if your child likes to play in goal. Having goalkeeper gloves will prevent your child injuring their hands and having a better grip of the ball when they catch it
Thermal Underdressing
As football is mainly played in the winter and the weather can get cold. Wearing a thermal underdressing will prevent your child getting cold when they are playing, especially when running around
A friendly smile
Your child must bring a positive smile to the session as a smile is infectious and it will make them, and everyone enjoy themselves.
