Our Football Programme

We offer a wide variety of football experiences for children of all abilities, BRS believes all players should be catered for, so that is why we offer a stepping stone system for all boys & girls at our centres.

Our centre aims are simple, to provide a platform for players to develop their skills, with weekly training focused on enhancing technical abilities and a potential pathway into our JPL Teams and beyond.

We offer a training system that will assist a players development and those who excel will be doing so under the watchful eye of Marc Scrimaglia and Andy Penney (talent scouts for Southampton FC) who will be looking to invite players into the Saints Development programme. This, we believe is a fantastic opportunity for any aspiring footballer.


Our Mission

To ensure every player in our system leaves BRS a better player and more importantly a better person to when they first joined. Joining the Junior Premier League (JPL) in 2020 was our first season participating in competitive football. By 2022 we want BRS teams competing  in grass roots leagues in Bournemouth and Dorset along side the JPL. By 2023 we will ensure Girls football at BRS will also be playing competitive matches.


Development Centers

Children (4yrs & up) who want to begin or develop their football journey are welcomed into our centres at Chapel Gate nd Verwood, Whether your child wants to learn a new game, try football for the first time or have fun with their friends, this is the starting place for them.

In our Development Centres’s (DC) our fully and highly qualified coaches will provide sessions for children already playing football, but want to learn new skills, improve technique , play more football or simply because they want to make new friends! Our sessions can really add to this.

Helping children improve, is key for us & it is something BRS are extremely proud of, in the last eight years more than 4000 children have started their football journey at one of these centres


Advanced Centres

BRS Advanced centre is designed for players who stand out from our Development Centre’s (DC’S), showing a great attitude to learning and show a great work ethic. Our ADC season sees our players tested against other coaching centres, development squads & professional academies. These games are opportunities for us to see the learning in effect & is a chance for our players to test themselves against some of the best young players they might come across in addition could even play for our Junior premier league teams if they continue to develop-all under the watchful eyes of Marc Scimaglia & Andy Penney (Talent Scouts for Southampton FC) and Ali Mcgivney (Head of recruitment Exeter City).

Since the beginning of our ADC we have welcomed children from u5-u15 & have seen >70 children in three years progress into AFC Bournemouth ID & Southampton ID, further to this we have had the pleasure in being a part in the development of several players sign for professional academies including Category 1 Academy Southampton FC & Category 3 Academies AFC Bournemouth, Yeovil Town FC, Portsmouth FC, Eastliegh FC and Exeter City FC.

Our ethos of Talent + Effort = Excellence is built from children all having a talent inside them & getting them to understand that by putting the effort in, they could become the best version they could be of themselves.  This is really the whole structure of our ADC, we will look to help nurture the player’s talents, however, their effort levels are what will enable them to excel.


Goalkeeper School

At BRS we believe Goalkeepers are vital to what we do, the modern game has changed so much since over the years & they’re finally recognised as a vital part of the team.
