From the start of Block 2 (after the October Holidays) Oriam will no longer be running their Tots to Teens Mini-Kickers and Football classes.

However we are delighted to announce that one of our partners Heart of Midlothian Football Club are expanding their youth academy classes. This is a fantastic opportunity for the local community to benefit from the partnerships we have here at Oriam and receive top class coaching from HMFC coaches.

Below is the upcoming class information and available memberships.

Hearts Soccer Academy

The Hearts Soccer Academy partnered with Box Soccer Training represents a unique opportunity to step inside the Hearts Academy and step up to the next level using the same practises and principles that have developed a host of Hearts first team players.

We deliver a demanding, thought provoking programme that encourages our players to make their own decisions. Each player is likely to get approximately 1000 touches per hour session.

We offer holiday camps, in-service days, single or even regular sessions for players at our academy sessions or by clubs who want to give their players the best possible chance to develop their potential.

Little Hearts Stars

As well as developing technical skills, we also look to incorporate and focus on key values such as working as a team, respect for themselves and others, adherence to the rules, fair play and honesty.

Our fun filled programme has been designed to introduce 2-5 year olds to the beautiful game in a fun, friendly environment where they can take their first steps into developing into full Box Soccer Players, and hopefully the stars of the future.

Little Heart stars aims to improve motor skills development and performance whilst educating through sport. At Little Hearts stars we believe sport and physical education is fundamental to children’s development and our programme is made up of the following categories to cater for this:

​(A) Agility (B) Balance (C) Coordination (D) Developing the relationship between player and ball (E) Encouragement (F) Fun.
