Teaching skills and mutual respect

My son has just finished a weeks camp with We Make Footballers at Goals in Aberdeen. He did a few days at Easter Camp and picked up a few moves so decided to enroll him for a week. He enjoyed the sessions, they are well structured so they are being coached rather than just free play which I really liked. There were a few boys giving him bother on the first day, I raised it with David and it was addressed first thing the next day with a chat to all the kids about the importance of respect in sport and good sportsmanship. If your kid loves football, they will get a lot from this camp!

Thank you Claire! 🤩 It’s great to hear that the sessions worked well for him and that he felt supported throughout. We always aim to create a positive environment for all the kids, and we really appreciate you highlighting how we handle respect and sportsmanship on the pitch. We hope he had lots of fun and is ready to show off his new moves on the pitch! ⚡🎉

Betsy played at the we make footballers funflair festival

Betsy played at the We make footballers fun flair festival recently. She had a brilliant time! She got to showcase her talent to coaches and some scouts. Betsy got to the final at Cobham Chelsea. It was a memorable occasion! The ground was amazing and she got to play 1v1s and 2v2s and so on. The whole thing was well organised and great to see so many girls playing football. Betsy was lucky enough to get a trial from this for a ETC! Emerging talent center. So I highly recommend we make footballers as a place to be coached, have fun and become a better player. We make footballers have created the possibility for higher level football for Betsy already. Thank You!❤️

Fun Flair Festival

My Daughter attended the Croydon fun flair festival and even with the awful weather it was a really fun enjoyable event with great coaches and a great atmosphere. The girls were all so talented.
They also gave her the amazing opportunity of attending the final at Chelseas training ground in Cobham which again was a fantastic experience.
Its a great place to take girls and open up brilliant experiences and opportunities for them.
Thankyou We Make Footballers

The Blackwood Academy coaching staff

The Blackwood Academy coaching staff, including Tom, have demonstrated exceptional skill in fostering my son's confidence. Over the course of four weeks, he has progressed from hesitant participation to actively engaging in drills, and the 1-on-1 coaching sessions are particularly effective and engaging.

Organised and the kids enjoy it

My son recently moved from another kids football coaching programme as I wasn't impressed with the level of coaching being offered. Within 5 minutes I was already happy he was at we make footballers. From the very simple but important things like ensuring there are no trip hazards (unlike the previous programme), having exercises already set up etc. Very happy and recommend we make footballers highly.
