My son has been attending We Make Footballers Watford, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The sessions are well-structured, engaging, and designed to help kids develop both their technical skills and confidence on the pitch.
A huge shoutout to Syed and his coaching team, who work incredibly hard to ensure every child gets the attention they need. Their dedication, professionalism, and passion for football are evident in every session. My son always comes home excited, eager to show off what he’s learned, and looking forward to the next session.
If you’re looking for high-quality football coaching in a fun and supportive environment, I highly recommend We Make Footballers Watford!

Freddie has been going to his football training for about 3 months now and he absolutely loves it. Scott and his team have really helped him develop his football skills and understanding of the game. And looks forward to going each week. Great friendly local set up and would recommend to anyone looking to get their child into active learning or develop existing skills.

We had our son’s 9th birthday party at WeMakeFootballers Glasgow, and it was absolutely fantastic! There were a lot of kids, but everything was well organized, and each child had the chance to show off their abilities. The football games were perfectly planned, and everyone had a great time. We are so thankful to WeMakeFootballers Glasgow for making the day truly amazing! Highly recommend it for kids’ birthday parties, real fun guaranteed🎉

I’ve been taking my 9 year old son to the We Make Footballers Lewisham Academy for the last 18 months and he loves it. Great coaches and really nice atmosphere and well organised - all the kids have fun and the drills are spot on. Loves the games in each session too which gives him a chance to put what he has learnt into practice. He has improved so much and has a real love of the game. Highly recommended.

ENFIELD Academy with Waled and team has been great for my 10yr old son. I've watched his fitness level significantly improve and all these coaches are great. We attend 2 sessions a week. My sons focus level and confidence improves every week. Great academy 👏

We had a trial session with We Make Footballers Birmingham and it was very disappointing.
It was for my 5 year old daughter who has never played football before.
According to their website they welcome all abilities but that is not true.
There was a bit of warm up at the beginning, then in the first half of the session they were getting complicated instructions that my daughter couldn't follow as she never played football before.
In the second half of the session, they were playing matches in pairs. The pair of my complete beginner daughter was a boy, who was a very good player, so she had no chance of kicking the ball at all, not to mention trying to score a goal.
And that was all. Nothing really for a beginner.
There were 3 coaches at the session and none of them took her for a couple of minutes to teach her some basics, or to see if she has any talent/skills to play football.
I felt so bed for my daughter. She was so excited to learn football and her motivation and confidence was destroyed at her very first session.
This football academy is clearly not for all abilities, and they don't want to train beginners.
What really awful is the coaches have no idea (or simply don't care) what bad experience children can come home from this trial with this kind of attitude they have.
I would give them 0 stars or less, if I could.

I simply can’t recommend this football academy enough! From the start when booking with Gemma to meeting Frazer and his team it has been an easy and friendly process and the team are fantastic—- professional, committed, and great at helping kids reach their potential. In particular for our son he lacked confidence and the guys have been amazing, they are sensitive and graceful helping to build my son’s confidence and give him a greater interest in the game.
We looked for a football academy as my son felt he was not keeping up with the his class mates and had very low confidence and we enrolled him at the Varndean sessions, but after his first session with coach Sam, he came out grinning and asked to go back. Sam has been great at building his confidence and giving advice that helps him understood more and wants to try new things. I thought it might have been hard for him to join in so late in the term but the other kids have been great and welcome each other when training. It is a very friendly atmosphere. It’s been a wonderful safe space for him to learn and grow. He’s now been going for four weeks and absolutely enjoys his Thursday evening football sessions. The change has been truly amazing!
A big thank you to We Make Footballers in Brighton especially to Fraser and Sam - you’ve made a real difference! He can’t wait till the 9th of January!!

We Make Footballers Ealing are amazing - we have been attending for just over a month now and are really enjoying the experience. The coaches are fantastic, the sessions are well organised, structured and very motivating and my son absolutely loves it! Every child is treated the same regardless of ability, and they are all there to improve! Fantastic company!

My son started training with WMF (East Finchley Academy) two years ago and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made! He was really reluctant to start football lessons as he’s quite shy but from the first lesson he loved it so much that he’s always eager to go. The coaches are all really nice and great at explaining techniques to the kids. In the two years since starting, I’ve seen a massive improvement in my son’s skills. He went from having no experience to feeling confident playing matches. In the past he never wanted to play matches with friends at school as he didn’t think he was good enough but now he joins in all the time and loves playing!
We also used We Make Footballers for his birthday party. We booked 3 coaches for 30 children and they kept them all thoroughly entertained the entire time! Even the children who weren’t into football said they had a fantastic time! Also, the price was amazing for a full class party!!
One of the best experiences to have come out of WMF was being invited to play football with an England/Arsenal player. My daughter attended lessons for a year and she was invited along with my son to come to a McDonald’s Fun Football match with Beth Mead. All the children who attended had such a great time and it was an experience I’m sure they’ll never forget.

My son is doing so much better in just 2 months of joining. I'm very happy with his progress he's improving at every session.
The coaches are friendly helpful and get the best out of every pupil
Even though its just for 1 hour the children remember the activities at the end of each lesson.
Very happy to continue with We make footballers

I can’t recommend this football academy enough. Sam and his team are amazing! They are very professional, dedicated and lead to the children to reach their full potential.
My son started with low confidence and from the very first lesson he asked me to come back again with a big smile !
He is now been there for 4 weeks and is looking forward to football every Sunday morning.
At school, he became more confident to play football at break time. His confidence has improved a lot!
I’m very grateful with We make footballers in Hackney! Thank you so much!

My son absolutely loves We Make Footballers. It’s so much fun. Lots of like minded kiddies having great time. David is fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble for him. David is definitely the soul of the session, keeps very light, upbeat and motivated atmosphere.

I take my boy to the Bridgend session every Sunday and he has improved no end. Recently a second session has started in porthcawl and he has insisted that he goes to that one as well.
It’s great to see kids playing with smiles on their faces while learning so many skills. Well done to Harvey and co.

My son started when he was 5 and the coaches were very helpful in settling him nicely. He progressed into the next class soon as they recognised he was ready for the challenge and this kept him well engaged.
The coaches make it fun for them and my son is happy at the end of each evening.
Great football academy! My 4 year old son is very happy when is a training day.
The coaches are friendly, kind and they know how to prioritise the children’s safety.
