A WMF coach helping a young player at Birmingham

We coach children aged 3–13 at Birmingham Academy, grouped into age bands (3–7, 4–7, 8–12 and 8–13) so every session is pitched at the right level. Players ready for more can progress to our competitive teams.

Weekly training at Birmingham is from £6 per session, billed in flexible blocks of 8 – less than most one-off kids' activities, for expert qualified coaching every week. Your first session is completely free with no obligation, so you can see the quality before you commit.

Pick a session that suits your child's age from the training times above and tap "Try free" – it takes under two minutes. We'll confirm your spot by email the same day.

Comfortable sports clothing, shin pads and trainers or astro boots. Bring a water bottle – we provide everything else, including footballs and bibs.
