The activity

Football, explained

Football training builds fitness, ball skills, teamwork and confidence through structured drills and match play. Academies typically group children by age and ability, running technical sessions (passing, dribbling, shooting) alongside small-sided games, with a season structure that runs across the school year. Some academies are founded and coached by former professional players, which can shape a more technical, performance-focused style of coaching. It suits kids who enjoy being active outdoors and like team sport, and most academies take beginners as well as more experienced young players.

Who it's for

Boys and girls aged 5 to 14, according to the academy's Instagram, in age groups U6 to U14 on its training sessions page. The birth years on the website were for the 2025/2026 season, so ask which group your child joins this season. It welcomes children whether they want to play professionally or simply for the love of the game.

What to expect

In the 2025/2026 season, training ran twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00 to 6:30PM, with each session lasting 90 minutes, and each package included one extra session at the weekend, on a Saturday or Sunday morning. The academy's August 2026 posts describe the same pattern of two sessions a week plus a weekend activity, but confirm this season's days and times. The academy says sessions work on technical skills, confidence and teamwork. You can register your interest through the website form, and a member of the admin team will contact you.
