Saturday Skills School

Join us every Saturday at Gosport Leisure Centre for our Saturday Skills School, part of Pompey in the Community’s player pathway programme. Tailored for young footballers from Year 1 through to Year 5, our fun, high‑energy sessions focus on mastering the fundamentals—dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending—while building confidence, teamwork, and a love for the game. With groups divided by age, each child receives coaching designed to challenge them at just the right level. Sign up now to kick-start their football journey with expert guidance in a friendly, inclusive setting.

Please note Miltoncross have cancelled our sessions on a Saturday due to staffing issues.

Skills Training Centre

Pompey in the Community proudly offers Skills Training Centres at two premier venues. John Jenkins Stadium and Purbrook Park. These sessions are designed for young players in School Years 1 to 6, focusing on fundamental football skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending. Each session is led by experienced Pompey in the Community coaches, ensuring a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment where every player can develop their confidence and abilities.

For those demonstrating exceptional talent, dedication, and a positive attitude, there’s a clear progression route into our Advanced Training Centre, offering further opportunities for growth. Join us to be part of a community that fosters passion, skill, and teamwork on and off the pitch.
