Little lions coaching clinic is an organisation which caters for kids aged 3-7 years old. Little Lions Coaching Clinic was founded by Nathan Sargeson in
March 2014.
Little Lions starts with kids that are in the last year of nursery all the through to Year 1 children. Kids are welcome to join at any stage during their journey from Nursery to Year 1.
We have a partnership with Mill
Hill Juniors (Blackburn) and
Little Lions acts as a
development centre and creates
a conveyor belt of kids ready to
serve them with players at the
end of the Year 1 age group in
June. At present we have 2
groups of Year 1s (U6s) which
have 14 children in each age
group.
At the end of June 2015 there
will be 28 (U6s) children who
will make 4 teams for Mill Hill
Juniors ready to play in the East
lancs football alliance (5-aside
non-competitive league). Little
Lions also has a link with BRFC
Academy due to the founder
working as youth scout for the
club. Talented kids who show
good potential whilst attending
Little Lions will have the
opportunity to be invited into
the Academy for further
training to continue their
progress and hopefully build on
the good work that has been
put in place at Little Lions.
“Before I set up this
organisation I had a wealth of
knowledge for competition of
who is catering for kids aged
3-7 years old. It was evident
that during my primary research
there was a common
denominator with other
organisations."
"Firstly sessions was either
packed with as many kids as
possible with only 1 coach
trying their best to get through
the hour as quick as possible
without any real structure to the
session or coaches was only
educated to a standard of FA
Level 1, which is classed as an
assistant coach and to a parent
it won’t mean a lot with any
decent knowledge of the game
but if you dig a little deeper it
counts and can pay dividends."
"Another major factor of what
was present is that the sessions
where motivated by making
money which makes my blood
boil.”
