This is Oxford United's “own award scheme” for 4-11 year old boys and girls delivered by the Community Scheme's own qualified coaches.The programme is a structured and progressive scheme to develop children’s football skills and is designed to create maximum enjoyment, involvement and help young footballers realise their full potential.

Each course lasts for 12 weeks concentrating on the game's essential skills and building blocks for any player. These are dribbling, passing, control and shooting, as well as improving co-ordination, balance, fitness and social skills. The programme is divided up into three age groups, each with six levels. 4-6 years, 7-9 and 10-11 years all with levels 1-5 and a premier challenge.

 Each of the four skills are coached for two weeks and tested at the end of the course. After 2 weeks there is a review to ensure that the skills practiced on the course has been improved. The children will then either progress to the next level or continue to develop their skills.  Once all five levels have been achieved children will progress to the elite development programme.
