Football Short Course – Secondary School Intervention Programme
Our Football Short Course is an intervention style programme for secondary school students identified by their schools as disengaged from learning or at risk of exclusion. It combines football based activity with structured personal development to build confidence, teamwork and aspiration. We aim to deliver this eight week programme to multiple secondary schools across Gloucestershire, providing 15 selected students per school with engaging sessions that combine football, personal development and life skills.
Secondary school students (ages 11–16) selected by schools for being disengaged or at risk of exclusion will gain confidence, teamwork and positive life skills.
The wider community benefits as young people with improved confidence and engagement contribute to safer schools, reduced antisocial behaviour and stronger community cohesion
15 students × 4 schools = 60 students per year
