NOTTINGHAM session OFF TODAY due to severe weather.

We will be back next week.

Our sessions at N.E.W. Academy – Pendeford (Friday 18/01/13) and Alumwell Business & Enterprise College – Walsall (19/01/13) have both been postponed due to the schools being closed with the snow.

Both courses will re-start next week.

All of the profiles on our ‘KIDS CORNER’ page will be removed on Wednesday 23rd January in order for children to update their profile and to create space for new children to add their profile. We have been pleased with the amount of profiles created in the first year of the page and we hope you all continue to do so in the future.

If you would like to add your profile again or indeed add one for the first time, please fill out the form on the bottom of our KIDS CORNER page and we will add your profile once it has been checked.

You can can add photos and videos to your profile!! 

Here at Soccer Star Coaching we have been using Samba Football Goals since we started 7 years ago.

There are many reasons why we use Samba Goals – none more so than how easy they are to set up. Each goal takes our coaches no longer than 4 minutes to set up, this is very important to us as sometimes we can have 10 or more goals to set up.

We have found the goal posts are very durable and last a long time even when used with a size 5 match ball kicked at full power by an adult the goals withstand the impact time after time.

In the past we have used 2 or 3 different makes, types and models of goals and we find that the Samba Goal Posts are by far the best on the market, from the design to the safety aspect. All of the coaches at Soccer Star Coaching would have no hesitation in recommending the Samba range of portable goalposts.

Samba Football Goals are available from ‘The Soccer Store‘ http://www.thesoccerstore.co.uk

West Bromwich Albion’s Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill popped into our Oldbury Summer Camp to present each child with a trophy on the last day of the camp,

Boaz also took time to sign autographs for the kids and he took THE SOCCER STAR CHALLENGE speed test. See how he got on in the video below:

Freestyle footballer, Joe Davies, known to the kids as Trickster performed tricks for the children on our Oldbury Summer Camp.

Disney have contacted us  in search of kids to appear on their TV show ‘Goalmouth’ on their Disney XD channel. Disney are looking into producing a 3^rd series of the show at the end of the year.

They have asked us to look for 8-10 year olds to potentially take part in the programme from our soccer courses/camps that fit the following criteria? 

• Kids with an impressive collection of Football memorabilia. This could be anything from a large sticker collection to signed shirts. We have the idea that one of our presenters could meet these kids and compare collections.

If you feel that you fit this criteria please contact us and we can then get in touch with Disney for you, who knows this could be the start of a celebrity career for someone!!! 

Birmingham City’s penalty hero, Darren Carter, will be attending our session at Ellis Guilford School in Nottingham. Darren will be helping the coaches to run the penalty shoot out session on Friday 18th May 2012, which is fitting as Darren scored a penalty that they say was worth £90m in the Championship Play Off Final in 2002.
At 17 years of age, Darren placed the ball on the Millennium Stadium penalty spot, took his steps back and placed it into the corner of the goal taking his boyhood team, Birmigham City, into the Premier League for the first time in their history!!

Darren has played in the Premier League for both Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. He has also represented England U20 at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship.

You can see how the events on that day went along with other goals of Darren’s in the video below:
