We want our players to SMILE and so these are the values we promote and give recognition for when our players demonstrate them.

Our Values

Show respect

Make friends

Improve

Learn

Enjoy

Our vision is to create an environment that encapsulates the spirit of football and the lessons that sport can teach.

Our mission is to enhance player’s love for the game, through positive and fun training sessions, whilst providing them with the opportunity to play in organised matches.

Our Ethos

The Cobras way

We believe in developing every player across four different areas (TIPS):

Technique

Intelligence

Personality

Speed

We aim to achieve this through training sessions that have sufficient ball each time. This helps to develop player’s technique and speed. As well this we try to play games that create 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 situations, with players teaming up with others in their year group, the year below and/or the year above. This helps to develop their intelligence (decision making) and personality (social skills).
