Unfortunately I have a bad review,as…

Unfortunately I have a bad review,as good as the training and facilities are top class I feel the company wemakefootballers have dodgy business practices concerning payment or in my case renewal which I tried to stop but I missed the deadline because I did not understand that I had signed up for auto renew and I didn’t want to renew,I was then told no refunds!! In no uncertain terms so I am paying for an 8 week course which my grandson does not want to do or I pay for.I am seeking legal advice and I have found out maybe too late for me but there will be a law which stops this practice and puts in place a 14 day cooling off period to protect this ever happening and put an end to their shoddy practices,so beware anyone who has signed up and wants to cancel in the future.

Dear Irvine, thank you for taking the time to share your experience - we're sorry that the renewal process caused frustration, and we understand your concern.

For context, our renewal policy exists because we maintain a maximum 1:10 coach-to-child ratio in every session. To deliver that consistently, we need to confirm coaches, secure facilities and plan group sizes in advance - so we ask families to let us know ahead of time if they won't be continuing. We know that's not always front of mind, and we're always working to make those deadlines and reminders clearer.

Since your review, Eve from our team reached out to you directly and we were really glad to have the chance to talk things through and reach a resolution you were happy with.

If your feelings about the situation have changed since we spoke, you're of course welcome to update your review to reflect your overall experience - but either way, we appreciate the feedback and it's helping us improve.

We are glad to hear that you found our training and facilities top class, and if your Grandson wants to come back - we'd love to welcome him back anytime.

All the best,

The We Make Footballers Team

Highly Impressed with We Make Footballers

I’m really pleased that my child, Tanvik Mohan, has been thoroughly enjoying his time at the We Make Footballers academy. The sessions are well structured, and the coaches are approachable, friendly, and very supportive. It’s great to see that all the players are encouraged equally, which makes the matches both competitive and enjoyable. The academy is very well organized in how they run both training sessions and Matches. I’m grateful to have found such a fantastic place, and I look forward to seeing my son continue to develop and grow with the academy. Thanks team for the great work. Keep rocking.

Thank you, We Make Footballers!

I am so grateful for We Make Footballers Ealing Academy - it has been a great choice for my son, Vlad. He started in November 2024 with 1 session/week and as of 2026 we have increased to 2 sessions/week (and I am sure more to come). The growth in confidence, skills and love for football since he started in 2024 has been exceptional. The sessions are well structured, the coaches are firm but always friendly and patient. We Make Footballers also provides great opportunities for the players to become more competitive with Fun Fairs Events. BIG thank you to Coach Rory and his team in Ealing Academy for all that you do!

We make footballers birthday party package

We had the we make footballers team at our son’s birthday party. The team organised the venue for us which was excellent and one less thing to do. They worked with us to prepare a session for all the kids participating and ensured it would be fun for all irrespective of football experience. The kids had so much fun and even the adults participated at the end. It was a great experience all around and I would absolutely recommend Idris and his team when planning your child’s birthday party

Top notch football club

As an experienced mum with Football Clubs and Holiday Camps; I’m quite selective about the clubs I send my child to. I don’t mind paying more or travelling further if the quality, coaching, and environment are right, my priority is always that my child is learning in a positive and well-run setting.

So far, the New Malden branch of We Make Footballers has been excellent. The organisation, communication, and coaching approach have all been very professional, and the sessions are well structured and engaging for the children.

It’s refreshing to see a club that focuses not only on football skills but also on confidence, discipline, and enjoyment of the game. My son has been very happy attending, which as a parent is the most important thing.

Based on our experience so far, I would definitely recommend the New Malden branch to other parents looking for a high-quality football programme for their children.

Dear Elif, thank you for such a glowing recommendation. We understand that parents today have many choices, and we don’t take it lightly when a parent places their trust in us.

Our coaches work hard to ensure every session is structured, engaging, and supportive, so it’s rewarding to hear that your son is feeling the benefits of that approach. We appreciate your support and look forward to helping him develop his skills further. 🙌✨
