Football Pathways
At Live Active, our main aim is to support the development of football and increase participation across Perth & Kinross.
The best way to achieve this is to work in partnership with football clubs across the local authority area.
What Are Football Pathways?
Football pathways provide a structured journey for young players to progress into a place at their local football club. These pathways guide children from early participation to competitive play. Our aim is to ensure each child gains valuable skills, enjoys the game, and builds confidence along the way.
We partner with local football clubs across Perth & Kinross to help children transition from community sessions into structured club environments. Our experienced coaches focus on nurturing teamwork, technical skills, and a lifelong passion for football.
Football Pathways for All Ages and Abilities
We cater to children of all ages and skill levels. Whether your child is taking their first kick or mastering advanced techniques, we have a suitable pathway. Each stage builds on essential skills like ball control, passing, and tactical awareness, ensuring steady progress.
Mini Kickers: Toddlers and 2–5 Years
Primary Football: 5–11 Years
