⚽ What A Week at Lewis’s Football Fun! ⚽
Wow – what an exciting week here at Lewis’s Football Fun. Absolutely brilliant.
This really is my dream job. I get to see all of your amazing children every week, doing what I love most – putting smiles on faces and helping them improve at football.
🏁 Races, Competition & Brilliant Energy
We’ve had races, challenges, and competitive games all week – and the competitive side the kids brought out was incredible.
😁Everyone getting excited.
🤩Cheering each other on.
👊🏼 Fist pumping.
🥳Celebrating wins.
The energy was electric.
A massive well done to all the winners who were rewarded with sweets and gold, silver and bronze stickers – fully deserved.
But just as important – well done to every single child who took part. The effort, attitude and sportsmanship was fantastic. It was really, really good.
⚽ Now On To The Football…
The football this week? Different level.
The standard was HIGH.
The sessions were amazing.
Fridays and Saturdays sessions were great, with so many coaching points implemented. Lewis’s Next Level Football was an absolute joke (in the best way possible!). The way the children responded was phenomenal – more than I could ever wish for.
That is the standard that we have set ourselves.
I’ve been watching the analysis videos back, reviewing sessions for feedback, breaking everything down to make sure every detail is right. The time and effort going into this programme is huge.
If your child is signed up to Next Level, I’ll be honest with you – you are onto a winner.
As a parent, all I can ever wish for is my child getting the same level of care, detail and precision that they are getting here at Lewis’s Next Level.
We’ve seen:
High-level technical sessions
Quick transitions
High intensity fitness work
Brilliant combination play
Outstanding effort and focus
It was an absolute joy to watch.
🚨 Next Level Is Growing
We’ve had another five sign-ups straight away.
We’re now expanding from one group to two groups.
More spots will be opening up soon – so keep your eye on social media. The advertisement will be going out again, and there will be a deadline to secure your place, order your kit, and be part of the structure.
Don’t miss out.
🌟 Sunday Sessions & Girls Section Update
Our normal Sunday session was great as always.
We’ve also had exciting meetings regarding our girls section and how we’re going to drive it forward properly. Big plans are in motion.
Teams are starting to create shortlists, and names will be communicated sooner than the original March timeline we set – so we’re ahead of schedule on that.
Very exciting progress.
🔥 Monday Nights
Monday night was phenomenal.
I managed to get across and watch all eight groups doing their races and video every single one of them. It was brilliant seeing every child on the same day.
So much positivity.
So much energy.
Just pure football fun.
