our
CORE VALUES
At Sports Link, we believe in developing not just skilled players, but confident, respectful young people who love the game.
#1
MAKING
FOOTBALL FUN
We use imaginative games to engage children and keep them excited about football. Our sessions are designed to spark creativity and ensure every child enjoys their time on the pitch.
#2
LEARNING
THROUGH PLAY
We provide opportunities to rehearse skills in small-sided games. That's what children enjoy, so we let them play! Real development happens when kids are having fun and playing the game they love.
#3
VALUE
FOCUSED
We are a value-based camp and recognise children for respect, teamwork, and trying their best over simply winning. Every child receives acknowledgment for demonstrating our core values.

COLLECTION
ARRIVAL TIME
9am at the main reception of Bedford Academy.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
On arrival, children will be signed in and then escorted by staff to the football pitches.

SESSIONS
We have access to both the outdoor 3G pitches and indoor sports hall.
Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the surface and weather conditions.
Children require indoor footwear but must wear appropriate molded football boots for safety on the 3G pitch.
Don't have molded football boots?
No problem! Please contact me with your child's shoe size and I will ensure there are some options for them to borrow.
