What we do

Shooting Stars Soccer School is a football academy working with primary school children across Kildare, Meath and west Dublin. We run two things: weekly after-school terms held at children's own schools, and multi-day football camps during the school holidays.

The idea behind both is the same. Good coaching should be easy to get to. Rather than asking families to add another evening journey to the week, we bring qualified coaching onto the ground children are already standing on, at the time they are already there.

Who we coach

Our programmes are for boys and girls from Junior Infants through to 6th Class. Sessions are grouped by stage rather than mixed together, so the youngest players get a shorter session built around fun, movement and first touches on the ball, while older groups work on technique, small-sided games and match play.

Everyone is welcome, whatever the starting point — children who already play for a local club and want extra touches, and children trying organised football for the first time.

Where we train

We coach at schools and club grounds across the area:

• Scoil Choca Naofa, Kilcock
• St Josephs National School, Kilcock
• Maynooth Boys National School
• Maynooth Education Campus
• Kilcloon National School
• Leixlip United AFC
• Rathcoole F.C.

Each course page lists the venue, the weekly dates and the exact session times for that group.
