How we find the right group
It is about more than ability
GT7 looks at the individual player and how they are getting on within their current football environment.
A player’s starting point, mentality and physical development are considered too, alongside the experience and judgement of the GT7 coaching team.
Enjoyment
Are they happy, smiling and engaged?
Involvement
Are they getting involved in the session? If not, why?
Progress
Are confidence and football skills developing?
Time on the ball
Are they getting enough touches and opportunities to play?
Goals
Can they achieve what they need to within their current group?
What boys football means to players and parents
“He’s having fun, making new friends along with receiving great coaching.”
Common questions
Does my child need to play for a grassroots club?
GT7 was created to work alongside grassroots football and provide additional coaching and fixture opportunities.
How do you decide which group is right?
We look at the individual player, including their football development, confidence, involvement and how they respond within the session. The aim is to find the environment where they can enjoy their football and develop.
Can my child move between groups?
Yes. Lions, Tigers and Wolves are transitional groups. Players can move between them as their needs change, with any proposed move discussed with parents or carers.
Is moving group a step backwards?
No. Development is not always a straight line. Moving groups is about finding the environment that is right for the player at that point.
How does JPL fit into the Boys programme?
JPL teams form part of the Lions programme. In age groups where GT7 has a JPL team, Tigers provides another development option.
What commitment is expected?
GT7 is a weekly commitment, with membership paid monthly.
What should my child wear and bring?
Appropriate clothing, boots (no metal studs), shin pads and a drink.
How do payments work?
Membership is paid monthly and covers four sessions.
