At Football Flick, we’re passionate about helping players of all ages and abilities grow their confidence, improve their technical skills, and enjoy the game more than ever. Over the past year, we’ve seen a growing number of schools and academies adopt our equipment and not just for training, but as a core part of their PE curriculum. One such school is Penwortham Priory Academy, where Head of PE Mark Bullock has been leading the charge.
Real Benefits in Real Lessons
Mark and his team have been using Football Flick equipment for the past six months and have already seen impressive results.
“We’re seeing players more confident on the ball, more confident with their touches and control, and more willing to try new skills in game situations – which has been brilliant,” Mark explains.
Confidence is key in football development, and the setup at Penwortham Priory ensures that students are getting the right kind of touches and experiences to build that confidence from lesson to lesson.
Used Across Lessons and Extracurricular Activities
Football is a core sport within the PE programme at Penwortham Priory, offered to all pupils (boys and girls) across eight to ten lessons each year. The equipment is also regularly used in the school’s extracurricular programme, which includes after-school training and competitive matches.
“We’ve incorporated the Football Flick equipment into our training sessions, and we’ve seen the benefits in how pupils apply what they’ve learned into match situations,” says Mark.
A Station-Based Approach to Skill Development
In PE lessons, the Football Flick equipment is used in a carousel format, where pupils rotate around different skill stations. This structure not only maximises time and engagement but also allows students to focus on specific technical aspects of their game.
Here’s how they’re using the equipment:
- 🟠 Pro Wall Rebounder – Used to improve touch, control, and passing technique.
- 🟣 Urban Skills Trainer – Perfect for practising volleys and striking the ball cleanly.
- 🔵 Mannequins – Set up for dribbling drills, turns, and movement-based activities.
- ⚽ Small Goals – Enable small-sided games that give every pupil more time on the ball.
“The small goals are a massive benefit – small-sided games mean more touches for each player, which really helps develop confidence and decision-making in games.”
High Quality, Great Value
When it comes to equipping a full PE department, budget and durability are just as important as performance. For Mark, the Football Flick range ticks all the boxes:
“It’s high quality and great value for money in terms of what you get.”
That balance of affordability and effectiveness has made it easy for the school to integrate the equipment not just in elite training, but in everyday lessons for all pupils.
