DutchSoccer4s.Org has just kicked off a new term. You can get your child involved with our game centres. 4 v 4 was made famous by the Dutch & today is still one of the best teachers for players on game understanding.
Your child will experience more fun while improving their technical ability & game understanding. In fact 4 v 4 is the simplest format of playing while keeping the basic shape to include all components from the modern game. This includes depth, width & penetration. The ball is never far away so everyone becomes more involved leading to a high paced fun game for children.
You can sign up at any stage of the term as we offer discounted rates for starting mid way through.
If your child attends our Mini Soccer programme they can attend DutchSoccer4s.Org from only £3 per week!
To register or request more information please contact Tim by phone, 077 4012 0788, or by email.
THE BENEFITS OF 4 v 4
The co-founder of Give Us Back Our Game, Rick Fenoglio from Manchester University compiled a yearlong study of Manchester United’s 4 v 4 pilot programme (U9s). When comparing it to the 8 v 8 game he came up with the following findings.
‘In simplified, modified games, players learn to be aware and to improvise, to concentrate, and to recognise the situation. Skills are important, of course, but the value of skills is to be able to use them efficiently in a fraction of a second. Our practices should be one quarter skill training and three quarters applying those skills in endless situations.’

Playing 4 v 4 improves technique & touch through players seeing the ball more. It also improves decision making. Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, is a massive fan of the small sided games approach.
DutchSoccer4s.Org will also help achieve more contact time for players at elite level to improve through play. The fact that elite children in England & Holland receive 9-12 hours a week contact time with their club compared to our local children only receiving around 3 hours is clearly a stat that doesn't improve the technical ability of each player.

Advantage Young Business Award Winner 2009
Thirty year old Tim Wareing of Castlereagh based TWSports.Org Mini Soccer Centres, has been recognised by Advantage NI and Invest Northern Ireland for being amongst the most successful and inspirational young entrepreneurs in the Castlereagh area. Funded by Invest NI, Advantage NI celebrates the spirit of enterprise that is alive and kicking in young people aged 16-30.
TWSports offers children the opportunity to play football in a pressure free environment, and welcomes children from as young as two to sixteen to join in. The business has been extended to reach children and coaches around the world by utilising their web based products.
Football has always been a passion and hobby for Tim Wareing. Though it was after he completed his football qualifications and observed the lack of youth development in sport and football that he decided to put all his interests and energy into starting up his own business.
Tim’s business has a strong customer base and he believes this is down to the fact that parents know that their children will meet new friends, have fun and develop their skills with highly qualified coaches at an affordable price. This Easter will be an exciting time for the soccer centre as TWSports welcomes Martien Pennings of Dutch side PSV Eindhoven to deliver a coaching clinic for Northern Ireland coaches and children.
Sharon Polson of Invest NI’s Entrepreneurship Development Team, said: “By supporting initiatives which encourage our young entrepreneurs to further develop their ideas and grow their businesses, we can help increase the number and quality of locally-owned businesses, create wealth and strengthen the Northern Ireland economy.
“Many local young people have started successful businesses in recent years. These entrepreneurs are role models and it is important that they are recognised for their achievements.”
As TWSports goes from strength to strength Tim is still not content with stopping here, as he sets his sights high for the future of his business - just as any entrepreneur would! He intends to continue the high standards he has set for child and coach development in Northern Ireland but he also aims to franchise his product further afield. He would even one day love to own his own indoor arena. With ambition like this it is easy to see why TWSports has been awarded an Advantage Young Business Award.
If like Tim, you are under thirty one and are running your own business, or, if you are simply interested in finding out more about starting your own business, Advantage NI wants to hear from you. Advantage NI provides start up support and guidance specifically for young people aged 16-30 through a suite of programmes including Business Boot Camp, Ignite, The Big Idea and The Advantage Young Business Awards and what’s more, they’re all free.
