Gravesend RFC in Milton Road, Gravesend, will also host a two-day session on the same dates, while Crayford Arrows Sports Ground, Perry Street, Crayford, will hold a two-day course on May 29 and May 30.
The courses are for boys and girls aged between five and 14, regardless of ability. They start with a register at 10am before being grouped according to age and making their way to the pitch with their coach for the day.
Warm up sessions will focus on co-ordination and dexterity training to balance the strong and weak sides of the body.
The morning sessions will be dedicated to different skills each day, for example shooting and heading one day, passing and dribbling the next.
Before lunch there will be a small sided game within each group into put to practice the skills they have just been taught.
During lunch, the coaches will entertain the children with their challenge for the day. The children can cheer on their favourite coach in games such as crossbar challenge, penalty king, one versus one and goalie versus goalie.
There will be small sided games all afternoon in the World Cup tournament after lunch.
On the last day, the winning teams will receive medals.
There is also the opportunity to win most improved player, player of the group, player of the tournament and a special player's player award in each group.
Every child will also receive a certificate and mystery gift from Arsenal FC, a goody bag and a gift from Grass Roots.
There will be three registers taken at morning, lunch and afternoon.
The courses are all fun based and because of Grass Roots' direct link with the Gunners, there will be opportunities to visit the Emirates Stadium and for talented children to progress to Arsenal's development centre.
