Introduction to football

In partnership with Bollington United FC we are helping to introduce young children to football the ‘Bolly Way’ through our Colts Academy.

Our introduction to football project helps boys and girls aged 4-7 years old discover the joy of football in a safe and nurturing environment.

Children who attend these sessions have lots of fun, make new friends, develop confidence, fundamental movement and basic football skills. Everything needed to be a future Bolly Baller. These sessions support Bollington United FC to create new teams at U7 level. However, you don’t need to join a team to have fun on a Sunday morning! We are on a mission to encourage as many children as possible to start their football journey in our fun, safe and inclusive environment.

Our sessions are delivered by FA and Uefa qualified coaches who understand how to make football fun for all.

ROAR FAQs

Can we just turn up to the Bollington FC Colts Academy?

Yes. However, we prefer people to register via our quick online form. If you have been once and want to continue, we need to get you registered.

You can register here: https://share-eu1.hsforms.com/1Lf5eXbSiTw2p135rwVRClAfwuy6

How can I keep up to date with details about the sessions?

Following your registration you will be added into our What’s App chat. We communicate mainly through this chat but also via email, and the Bollington FC Facebook page.

Are the sessions pay as you go and what types of payment methods do you accept?

The sessions are pay as you go. You can make payment directly at the sessions using cash, apple pay, any major debit or credit card.

My child is not yet 4 years old, can they still attend?

Sorry no, but when they turn 4 please do bring them along. We recommend Little Kickers for younger children.

My child is turning 8 years old, can they still attend?

Children will be signposted into teams when they are in school year 1. If your child cannot play in a team by the time they reach 8, but  still want to continue at our Colts academy, please let us know as we review on a case by case basis.

Does my child need boots and shin pads?

We advise all children to wear shin pads. Boots are beneficial when we play at our Capelli ground. If you’re new to the sessions, you might want to buy boots after you have tried the session first.

Roar potential – Training on Racism, Diversity and Equality. Highly recommended:- Elliott from Roar Potential delivered an inspiring and meaningful presentation to all of our staff as part of our CPD on Anti-Racism, Equality and Diversity. He delivered a mixture of facts, data and personal experiences from his own life that gave the content and message authenticity and impact. He made us question, think and challenge our perceptions leading to us improving our practice in this area. We all left with a clearer understanding about many people’s lived experiences, how easily inequality and stereotypical misconceptions can be reinforced and repeated, and ultimately the impact this has on beliefs and experiences in life. Following the activities and discussions, we are confident about what we need to do and how to achieve it with small but important changes in the use of language, imagery, resources and role models etc. We felt empowered in our ability to deliver an equal and positive learning experience for all of our children and families. Diane Wolstenholme. Headteacher. Ashgate School.

We recently had Roar host our daughter’s 4th birthday party and it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Elliott and Lottie brought so much enthusiasm and fun to the day, it was really special for the children and stress-free for the adults! Our daughter keeps asking when she can have another party with them, high praise from a four-year-old who says exactly what she thinks! So many other parents commented on how much their children loved it too. We wanted something warm, fun, and age-appropriate, without being too overwhelming for such a young group, and Roar got the balance spot on with plenty of both original and traditional games. They made such a genuine effort to include every child, making sure everyone felt part of the fun. We especially appreciated how parents could join in too, which really helped some of the shyer little ones get involved. The ‘time out’ area was a genius idea for children who needed a little break, such a thoughtful touch we hadn’t seen before. From start to finish, Roar were creative, professional, and so much fun. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable party, and we’re really grateful. Thank you again!!

Roar Potential are a fantastic, and professional team. Both my children are or have been involved in their Colts sessions and extracurricular activities, and they really support the children to develop, have fun, and develop their social skills in a safe and supportive environment. Would highly recommend Roar Potential and their team to anyone who'll listen 👍🏼

The breadth or activities from sport, art and multiplayer games is far a wide and reassuringly safe, compliant and focused on learning, good health, well being and active collaboration. The hosts are warm, welcoming; organised, efficient and accommodating. A gem of a club. ROAR!

Fantastic holiday club. My two have loved attending. Not only does it have a variety of sports activities throughout the day but plenty of other exciting stuff such as arts and crafts to keep the kids entertained and to suit different personalities. Elliott, Natalie and the team are really hands on, fun and caring so I feel that my children are in safe hands. I would definitely recommend.

ROAR is an absolutely amazing place for kids to have fun and to be well looked after. A family run business and just so much thought and care put in. Great to see. After school and holiday clubs have been a life saver for so many parents! Thanks Elliott and team!!
