Awesome football clinic!

Our seven year old son absolutely loves We Make Footballers. He’s very new to football however the coaches, in particular Ayden, have been great balancing coaching duties amongst the varied levels of skill.

If you’re looking for a place to build your child’s football skills I can highly recommend We Make Footballers.

Third season in!!

My son is currently in his third season with We Make Footballers Canberra, and we couldn’t be happier. The coaches are absolutely fantastic! Patient, kind, firm when needed, and always encouraging. Their positive approach has made such a difference.

My son genuinely loves attending every session. His confidence has grown so much since he started, and his ball skills have improved noticeably. It’s been a joy to watch him develop both on and off the field.

Highly recommend We Make Footballers to any parent looking to get their child into soccer in a supportive and professional environment!

Our son has been with We Make Footballers for six(6) months. In that time period he has improved in confidence and technical ability. Every session is well structured to challenge and develop his skills set in a team friendly environment. Highly recommend WMF.

The passion and commitment of Aidan and

Ayden and his team provide a wonderful football experience for my two boys. Coming all the way from Perth, our kids love the sport even more. Not even the canberra cooler weather stop them from running out the door on a Friday evening. Thanks, Ayden and team!

Thank you so much for your lovely message Jerry.

It’s amazing to hear that your boys are enjoying their football experience so much - even braving the Canberra chill to get out and play! Ayden and the team will be thrilled to know their passion and commitment are making such a positive impact.

We’re so glad your family has joined us, all the way from Perth (wow! - that might be our furthest travel for football training to date) and look forward to future training sessions soon.

All the best

Bad Management

Most of the time School kids was doing training and don't have skills to train and managed young kids.
Even I did not receive My Son Kit and they said they will provide next week. But no one turned up from management.
Also there is catch of Direct Debit. We don't want to attend Training for next term but Amount deducted $475 and when I contact them they said we can't do refund.

Hi Sohail,

Thank you for sharing your feedback – we're sorry to hear you’ve had a disappointing experience.

We’d like to clarify a few points and offer to speak with you directly to resolve things where possible.

Regarding the Direct Debit, we completely understand how frustrating it can feel when a payment goes through unexpectedly. We do send several reminders in the lead-up to renewals, and we clearly state during sign-up and in renewal communications that cancellations can be made at any time before the payment is taken. Once a booking is confirmed and payment is processed, we’re unable to offer refunds as we’ve already allocated coaches, secured facilities, and prepared equipment in advance. Spaces are limited, and by confirming a spot, we often have to turn away other children - which is why our policy is in place. That said, we’re always open to discussing individual cases to find a fair outcome.

With regard to the kit, it was ready and waiting at your son’s final session, but unfortunately it wasn’t collected. We’re happy to arrange getting this to you now.

And on the coaching - all of our sessions are led by WMF Qualified coaches who receive ongoing training to maintain a high standard. We take real pride in the quality of our programme, so we’re sorry if this wasn’t your impression and we’d welcome the chance to understand what happened in more detail.

Please do get in touch via canberra@wemakefootballers.com.au – we’re always happy to speak one-to-one and do our best to resolve any concerns.

Kind regards,

We Make Footballers: Canberra Academy

Excellent club with dedicated staff.

We are really proud of being part of the marvelous WMF club Worthing.The team is brilliant and very engaging. The weekly session driven by effective coaches have made a witnessed difference on our son's skills.
Most importantly the holiday football camp is an excellent initiative.The kids taking part are having not only great time but make the most of it due the extend of time taking to master their skill further. Moreover, the coaches have also the time to pass their knowledge on and emphasize on each kid's inner trends in a more efficient manner.
In particular, I would like to express my gratitude to coaches Sam and Jack for their excellence in delivering meaningful and constructive tips helping our son to improve further.Keep up the great job guys.

Hey John, thank you so much for your kind words and for being such a valued part of the We Make Footballers Worthing family!

We're delighted to hear about the progress your son has made and that you've noticed a real difference in his skills. It means a lot to know that both our weekly sessions and holiday camps have had such a positive impact. We completely agree - the extended time during camps really does give our coaches the chance to focus on each player and bring out their best.

A special thanks for recognising Sam and Jack - we'll be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to them. They’ll be so pleased to know their hard work is making a real difference.

Thanks again for the support - we can’t wait to see your son continue to grow with us!

Coaches are amazing

My son joined We Make Footballers at four years old. I was a bit worried as he’s quite a shy boy, but as soon as he got there the coaches were so friendly and got him involved straight away. It’s great to see him learning to play football but also having so much fun and making new friends. I took my daughter to watch him and she has now decided she wants to join as well. It’s
nice to see them going to training and then coming home to practice drills or skills they have just learnt.

Hi Sam,

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear how well your son has settled in – especially as he started out a little shy. It means a lot to know our coaches made him feel welcome from day one so appreciate you letting us know.

It’s brilliant to hear he’s not only learning to play football but also having fun and making new friends – that’s exactly what we hope for with every child. And how fantastic that your daughter now wants to join in too! We can’t wait to welcome her as well.

Thanks again for your kind words and support – it really does mean the world to us.

Hi Caroline,

Thanks so much for your review and for sharing your thoughts. We're really pleased to hear your son loves football and is eager to keep improving - that’s exactly the kind of enthusiasm we love to see!

We really appreciate your suggestions around payment reminders and weekly feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve communication, and your ideas are genuinely helpful.

Totally agree on the importance of payment reminders - we do currently send one a week before any renewals are taken, but appreciate more can be done. We’re also exploring additional options such as SMS and in-app prompts to make things even clearer.

As for feedback, our current model is designed to maximise playing time with high-energy, high-quality coaching at a price point that keeps sessions accessible to as many children as possible. Providing consistent, individualised feedback at scale is a challenge without increasing costs - but we absolutely agree it’s important. We're actively working on ways to offer more feedback in a practical and meaningful way.

Thanks again for your support - and we hope to earn that fifth star soon!

Kind regards,

The We Make Footballers Team

Jackson is really enjoying his sessions, I have been a coach for 25 years and I love the way it’s structured to develop the individual. Jackson’s other group he does is very chaotic and he gets limited time with the ball at his feet. He loves to learn and with you he gets that opportunity.
