Saturday Skills Sessions

As part of its community football offering Royal Wootton Bassett Town offers FREE coaching sessions on Saturday mornings during school term time.

Open for boys and girls of all abilities aged 4-12 (Reception to Year 7), these take place on the state-of-the-art AGP pitch at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground between 9 and 10am.

All attendees need to bring boots, shin pads, a drink and weather appropriate clothing. Attendees must also register in advance using the form on this page.

The club originally introduced free skills sessions in September 2012 after the club had its Football Legacy Fund (FLF) application accepted by the FA National Youth Council.

And in 2018 the community football sessions received the prestigious Wiltshire FA Community Project of the Year in the inaugural FA and McDonald's Grassroots Football Award.
