At Pro Shaws Coaching, we’re passionate about nurturing young football talent, and one of the most rewarding parts of that journey is coaching the Exeter City Girls Development U10s team. As the coach of this fantastic group, our focus goes far beyond drills and match results. It’s about developing each player’s technical ability, confidence, and understanding of the game in an environment that’s both fun and supportive. Every session is designed to challenge the girls, encourage creativity, and build the skills that form the foundation for lifelong success in football. Our training sessions centre around ball mastery, decision-making, and teamwork, all while fostering a positive mindset and a love for the game. I believe in a player-centred approach – giving every girl the freedom to express herself, take creative risks, and learn from each moment on the pitch. Through structured sessions, match experiences, and tailored individual feedback, we aim to help each player progress along the Exeter City development pathway. The goal is simple: to create confident, capable, and passionate young footballers who enjoy every step of their journey. Watching these players grow, technically, tactically, and personally, is what makes coaching so special. This is where future stars begin their story.

It was an absolutely brilliant session — the perfect way to kick things up a level, boost confidence, and foster that unstoppable team spirit.

At Pro Shaw’s Coaching, we believe that introducing children to sport at a young age sets the foundation for a lifetime of confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits. So when we were invited to be part of the sports-themed week at Little Squirrels Preschool in Bovey Tracey, we jumped at the chance – and what an incredible day it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing. The children greeted us with boundless energy and the kind of enthusiasm that makes everything we do worthwhile. It didn’t take long before boots were on, smiles were wide, and the pitch (well, the play area!) was full of little footballers ready for action. 🧒 What We Did: Learning Through Play Our sessions are always designed to be inclusive, age-appropriate, and most importantly – fun! For preschoolers, the goal isn’t to teach complex tactics or perfect technique. It’s about developing key movement skills, nurturing social interaction, and encouraging children to give things a go in a positive and pressure-free environment. Here’s a glimpse of what our Little Squirrels session included: Every child had a chance to shine – whether they were dribbling with focus or dancing with joy after a goal. Seeing that spark of pride when they achieved something new is exactly why we do what we do. 🤝 A Huge Thank You We must give a heartfelt shout-out to the incredible staff at Little Squirrels. Their warm welcome, encouragement, and the positive, nurturing environment they’ve built was a joy to experience. It’s no surprise the children were so engaged – they’re surrounded by people who champion their growth every single day. 👪 Why It Matters: The Power of Early Sport Many parents ask us why sport is so important at a young age – especially when the focus is on fun rather than form. The truth is, physical activity in the early years is about so much more than just exercise: At Pro Shaw’s Coaching, our passion is helping children discover all of this – in a way that feels like play, not pressure. 👟 Want Us to Visit Your School or Nursery? If you’re a parent, carer, or educator interested in bringing sport into your early years setting, we’d love to chat. We offer tailored sessions for nurseries and preschools across the region, with fully qualified, DBS-checked coaches who specialise in working with young children. 📩 Simply visit our website and fill out the contact form – let’s get the ball rolling!
