A free, hour-long football session where children and a parent or guardian train together. U5 Mix is open to both girls and boys, and the aim is to build friendships across gender, encourage a love of movement and support children's motor skills.
Coaches and volunteers lead the sessions with a playful approach. Training is built around themed worlds, so the children might for a while become pirates and sea robbers. The hour combines a group game with four stations, with or without a ball, where players and parents rotate in small groups. Time afterwards is set aside for socialising and team cheers. Two trial sessions are included, and in the cold winter months the training moves indoors.
