Football Training in Plumstead for Children aged 5-11

Brazilian-inspired football coaching for boys and girls in Years 1–6 at Plumstead Manor School.

The R81 Football Saturday Development Programme helps children build confidence, improve their skills and enjoy learning the game through small-sided football sessions. Based in Plumstead and close to Woolwich, Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, Belvedere and Shooters Hill, our sessions give children more touches, more decisions and more chances to dribble, pass, shoot and express themselves on the ball.

Book your child’s £5 trial and let them experience R81 Football.
