"About us"

In a fun-filled, non-competitive environment, your child is given the opportunity to grow and develop as a young team player by focussing on their hand, eye and motor skills along with raising self-esteem and self-confidence.

Nick Corrigan's Soccer Schools are here to ensure that your chid is able to feel welcome in team activities and games and ultimately be there for them to aid them as they improve. Nick Corrigan firmly believes that every child deserves the same attention and consideration and through particular fun exercises, the children are able to learn from one another and look forward to coming each and every week.

WHY CHILDREN PLAY SPORT

Enjoyment & fun

Younger children are more likely to participate in sport for fun, enjoyment and the social aspects of involvement.

Socialization

Children are socially driven and desire opportunities to meet new friends and be with friends. Hence the reason my soccer programs have been written and structured in such a way that they are open and fully inclusive to all children regardless of their ability and experience.

Development of new skills

A majority of children participate in sport in order to learn how to play and acquire skills. There is no research to suggest that winning is an influencing factor in junior sport participation.

WHY CHILDREN DROP OUT OF SPORT

Coaches and parents

Pressure from parents and coaches has been identified as a major inhibitor to continued participation. So parents please sit back and allow your children to enjoy there experience at Nick Corrigan's Soccer Schools

Rules and competition

Competitive environments and overly structured formats create frustration and anxiety among children.

Over-emphasis on winning and losing

Continued focus on results creates ego-oriented motivation in which children compare themselves to others.
Nick Corrigan's Soccer Schools believes that focusing on enjoyment and effort fosters task-oriented motivation which will create an intrinsic desire to improve and develop at a far more reasonable pace.
