We run three distinct football programmes so every age and ability has the right environment. Pick the one that fits your child — or get in touch if you are not sure.
Fun, confidence-building sessions designed around short attention spans and big imaginations. Parents welcome pitch-side. Paid per block — consistent coaches, consistent venue.
Weekly training for children who want to improve their game in a positive, pressure-free environment. Ball mastery, small-sided games, real football fun. First session is free.
Specialist sessions for keepers who want to sharpen their handling, footwork and shot-stopping. Run by coaches with goalkeeping-specific experience.
We have been coaching kids in Sunderland since 2009. A small, community-focused CIC — not a franchise. Every coach on our pitch knows every child by name.
Our coaching team holds FA Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications — trained to deliver proper technical development, not just kickabouts.
Every coach is DBS-checked. We carry full public liability insurance and follow FA safeguarding policies as standard.
No shouting, no sidelined kids, no pressure to be the best. We coach the FA philosophy: every child plays, every child improves, every child leaves smiling.
A Community Interest Company registered in Sunderland. Any surplus goes straight back into funded places and community projects — not shareholder pockets.
Choose a day and time that works for your family on our booking page — Saturday mornings, weekday evenings, different age groups.
Trainers, shin pads, water bottle. We provide everything else — balls, bibs, goals, coaches, smiles. Parents are welcome to stay and watch.
