Mini Villa

Garforth Villa Football Club takes immense pride in our Mini Villa football training sessions. It's the starting point for many of our players, with numerous continuing to play for our club for over a decade!

Mini Villa offers exciting football training activities in Garforth every Sunday morning from 10am to 11am for children in Nursery, Reception, and Year One school ages.

Our sessions are designed for children to have fun, learn new skills, gain confidence and forge friendships. We boast excellent coaches who volunteer their time to deliver engaging football sessions, all overseen by FA Qualified Coaches.

Mini Villa is categorised into three groups based on school ages: Nursery, Reception, and Year One. The training is enjoyable and introduces progressive football skills weekly, adhering to our coaching philosophy. We organise our training activities into smaller groups to ensure they are suitable for the children's age and ability, providing an excellent introduction to football.

Mini Villa operates during the football season, which runs from September to May/June each year.

We're always on the lookout for coaches to enhance our Mini Villa Team. If you're interested in coaching with Mini Villa, please reach out to Simon Pinkney on the following email vicechair@garforthvilla.co.uk.
