School Time
During the school year we go in to schools and provide PE lessons, working on the whole of the games side of the P.E curriculum.
We also get involved in health and fitness weeks at schools, giving talks about healthy lifestyles and doing physical sessions so that we can discuss the changes in the way that the children's bodys feel.
After School Clubs
Each day there are a number of after school football clubs taking place at local schools. These clubs start immediately after school and last for one hour. A perfect way for children to get some exercise and burn off some energy at the end of the school day.
There are also a few lunchtime clubs running at local schools. These include Barnes Farm Junior (girls’ football club), Westlands Primary (playground games), Thriftwood (SEN) (football club) and Highwood Primary (football club).
Special Needs
Our Special Needs coaching programme includes sessions at Columbus School, Columbus College, The Thriftwood School and Trinity Road's Speech and Language Unit. We are now running a session for age 16+ at Writtle College with a view to starting a Chelmsford City FC disability team.
Members of the coaching team now have knowledge of coaching both deaf and blind footballers.
Links with Your School
Over the years, the community programme has developed strong links with Great Baddow High School Specialist Sports College who will be linked in the next academic year with every school in the Chelmsford area. This involves about 60 schools. Another great link is that with Chelmsford Borough Council’s Sports Development Team. Many of our evening sessions are run in conjunction with CBC, where they supply the venue free of charge and we keep any revenue to cover our costs. There are three evening sessions for boys and girls (mixed) and a session for girls only. Three of these are at Chelmer Park and one at the County High School for Girls. Our summer and Easter holiday course programme is also run with CBC.
