Football Development Programme
Our goal is to give every child – regardless of background, gender and ability – the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful game. We offer a variety of fun football sessions – for 5-7-year-olds, 8-12s and girls only.
It's a great way to enjoy football, meet new friends and have fun while getting active. Everybody is welcome – we want you to have a ball!
Class timetables are listed below. Customers can continue to book classes by completing and submitting the booking form.
All drop-in sessions have resumed and no pre-booking is required. Please just turn up on the day.
