Junior Football Training Services

We Make Footballers academies offer weekly football training, holiday camps, 1-on-1 coaching, birthday parties and school programmes – helping children of all abilities develop skills, confidence and a lifelong love of the game.

Join our weekly football training sessions designed for all skill levels and ages.

Our weekly group training is a great way to network with other aspiring players and coaches.

Our facilities have indoor and outdoor fields, so your child can train in any weather. We focus on technique development in small spaces during the winter, so your child can develop their skills and then apply them to larger fields in the summer. We have a comprehensive one-year syllabus, but you don't have to commit to the entire program at once. Our weekly group training is flexible, and we offer block sessions for your convenience.

Personalised and high energy football training by a professional coach just for your child.

A handful of children take a bit longer to grasp the rudiments of the game than others, and our one-on-one football coaching offers a more nurturing atmosphere for their development. It's a common observation that children find greater delight in football as they become more proficient in the basics. We appreciate that each player has their unique developmental trajectory. Individualised one-on-one sessions allow players to focus on specific elements of their game, assisting them in surmounting obstacles on their football voyage.

Both of my children love their sessions! During their one hour they practise a lot. The children all have their own ball and they all join in at the same time with different fun games. They also learn how to be a good team player. The program and the coaches are brilliant!

Frequently asked questions

Are you looking for a football training academy to partner with?

How it works: We provide players and teams for local grassroot teams to compete at a competitive grassroots level. The partnered club recommend WMF to players who aren’t quite ready to play at a grassroots level side (players may be too young or new to football).

What safety procedures are in place and are your coaches DBS checked?

All of our coaches are fully DBS checked and at least one member of staff on site will be first aid trained.

How do I get my child in shape for football?

Getting your child into shape for football involves a combination of physical activity, skill development and a balanced diet. Here are some steps you can take to help prepare your child for football: encourage your child to take part in activities that can improve cardiovascular endurance, such as running, cycling or swimming. To be a successful football player, a child will need to work on their speed, agility and endurance. Encourage your child to eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water. It's also important for your child to rest and recover between exercise. You could take your child to take part in local football training sessions and speak to the coach about what they think your child needs to develop. Your may also want to consider shifting the language from 'getting your child into shape' to 'helping your child lead an active and healthy lifestyle'. Football can be a great vehicle to help make this change.

When should girls start playing football?

Girls can start playing football at the same age as boys, typically around 4 or 5 years old. There is no specific age restriction or limitation based on gender when it comes to playing football. Football is a sport that can be enjoyed by both girls and boys and now there are increasing opportunities for girls to participate in football training and football matches where they can meet new friends, develop their football skills and find a love for the game. It is important to find a football environment which is inclusive and supportive, where girls feel welcomed and encouraged to participate in football.
