  • The Football Fun Factory Podcast - Word of the Week - Character

    Character is our Word of the Week for the upcoming week here at the Football Fun Factory.⁠

    ⁠

    At our sessions, we love to see children showcasing their characters and being themselves.⁠

    ⁠

    Whether it’s at our Tots Football Fun or Football Fun & Development sessions, creating an environment where every child can be themselves, and showcase their true character is so important to us.⁠

    ⁠

    This week at our sessions, we’ll be talking to the children about what character means, how they can showcase it, and also how they can be aware of other peoples character too!⁠

  • The Football Fun Factory Podcast - Word of the Week - Effort

    It's all about effort this week as we have made it our word of the week! This week we’ll be focussing on effort and how it’s so important to give and show effort in everything that we do.

    During our sessions this week, we’ll be asking the children to put in lots of effort so that they can really maximise their time with us.
    Putting in effort doesn’t just mean trying your hardest to score lots of goals! It can also be showcased in other ways like making an effort to give a warm welcome to new children at our sessions, or helping our coaches collect in footballs and cones.
    We’re sure that there’ll be some great effort on show from all the children this week.

  • The Football Fun Factory Podcast - Word of the Week - Bravery

    Bravery is the word of the week at our sessions this week. There are so many different ways that children can show bravery within our sessions and this week we’ll be talking to the children all about how they can show bravery while playing football and then take this into everyday life.

    For many when they hear about bravery, they might think it’s all about perhaps getting hurt but being brave enough to continue on, while this is great, we’re actually going to be focussing on bravery as a way to achieve new things.
    This week we’ll be looking at how bravery can help children to try new things on the football pitch, make new friends and ultimately push them a little bit out of their comfort zone.
    Children can develop so much when they are outside their comfort zone, and through showing a little bit of bravery they’ll be able to do this at our sessions this week.

    Expectations are important at the Football Fun Factory, and that’s why it is our Word of the Week this week.

    As Football Coaches, we have expectations of the children who attend our sessions, and we are so proud to say that they exceed these expectations every single week. They are kind, and friendly and their behaviour is always amazing.
    The children that attend our sessions can also have expectations of us too. They can always expect a warm welcome, a safe environment to play within, lots of fun from the sessions that we deliver and we’ll also look to teach them new things at the FFF.

  • The Football Fun Factory Podcast - Word of the Week - Fair

    Fair is our word of the week at the Football Fun Factory this week. Each and every week we see children showcasing fairness within our sessions, so we thought it would be a fantastic word to focus on this week.

    It is so important to be fair, and we are so lucky to see it on show within our sessions.
    Whether it’s passing the ball to another player, helping someone up, or saying when they’ve let the ball go out of play, the children that attend our FFF sessions are so fantastic at being fair.
    During our sessions this week, we’ll be kicking off by asking this children how they can showcase being fair within our sessions this week.

    There have been so many fantastic things happening at the FFF during this term, as well as throughout 2024 so far, and the end of another term provides the perfect opportunity to reflect.
