Falkirk FC Player Pathway

Our foundation course introduces children to a sporting environment in a fun, non-threatening and caring way. Children learn many basic ball skills. Our objectives are also to develop life skills such as independence, social interaction and confidence. All the lessons are taught with plenty of creativity to engage your child and make their first experience of a sporting environment a positive and happy one.

Development Level

The emphasis is on developing a wide range of gross motor skills such as bouncing, catching, throwing, balance, timing, etc. The lessons move progressively from easy to more difficult tasks and always end with a fun game. We also develop life skills such as confidence and concentration.

Excellence Level

Players at this stage are identified as elite players and train 3-4 times per week and play matches at the weekend. Players also follow a sports science programme and receive information on diet and bad nutrition.
