Vision, Purpose, Values
Gateshead Footy Stars deliver high quality, fun football coaching for children aged 2 and above. We are based at 3d Health & Fitness, Cardinal Hume School on Old Durham Road, with groups and teams training in the sports hall and on the 3G astro turf pitch.
Starting from such a young age helps children to build confidence and familiarity with the coaches, the venue and each other. The building blocks put in place during the first 2-3 years at Gateshead Footy Stars enable children to thrive in the sport as they move up the age groups. From age 6 they can start playing in teams as part of the games programme that we offer.
Our earliest age group is Under 3s and we currently have groups up to and including Under 10’s. As children and groups get older we plan to grow naturally to enable teams to continue through the age groups. We have enough places in each age group to create two or three teams if places are filled.
