Top notch coaching at We Make Footballers….

My son attends We Make Footballers in Sevenoaks, and I can't recommend them enough! Under the incredible coaching of Gil, my son has gone from strength to strength. We've seen a massive improvement in his skills, confidence, and teamwork. Gil is absolutely brilliant with the young kids, creating such a positive and encouraging atmosphere. It's been amazing to watch my son transform from an introvert to a more confident player on the pitch. Thank you, We Make Footballers!

WMF - Creating future professional footballers like no other

I was very impressed at the recent Fun Flair Festival for girls organised by WMF in partnership with Chelsea FC at Chiswick.
I was blown away by how well this was organised and coordinated. The coaches were very friendly and supported the children well. 👏🏽 My daughter felt at home despite not knowing any of the girls when she arrived.
It was a fantastic experience which my daughter has told everyone who cares to listen.
I was amazed at the professional set up seeing so many talents and skills displayed by the girls.

A special shout out to coach Idris and the Newham WMF coaches for all their support and dedication in the weekly football lessons.

Thanks again for being part of the day!

An energetic and engaging experience

We had a very engaging experience - my daughter took three friends one of which won a trophy 🏆
There was lots of variety, it was fast paced and energetic. The coaches knew how to get the best out of all the participants at Chiswick with LR.

Best place to start your football career

Miguel has so far had two sessions but he is enjoying it. Very interactive and challenging which as a parent was looking for as he builds his skills. The coaches are so much involved and they command respect which is to a key factor for better sport. Looking forward to more growth.
But over all is a nice place to have your baby develop.

Coach Aiden Makes Football Fun at Mawson, Canberra, ACT

Enrolling my son in WeMakeFootballers after trying indoor soccer has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The coaching sessions at Mawson Fields have been fantastic, and Coach Aiden has played a big role in making it a great experience for the kids.

One thing that really stands out is how Coach Aiden takes the time to address every player by their individual name; a small gesture that makes each child feel seen and valued. It’s a testament to the care and attention he puts into coaching.

We also appreciate the clear and timely communication. Notifications for any cancellations or changes in venue are always sent well in advance, which helps us plan accordingly.

Great job to Coach Aiden and the entire team, thank you for creating such a positive and well-organized football experience!

My little one just started. He had 4 sessions and he loves it. The coaches are very nice. The very first day my boy was scared one of the coach took a time and played one to one to make my boy confident. Now my little one loves it and can't wait for the next session.
