Holiday camp recommendation
My son attends regular classes each week which has boosted his confidence and helped with his sleeping pattern too.
All the coaches are fantastic with the kids and have lots of patience, I feel at ease knowing that my son is having fun and learning new skills.
My son has also attended regular holiday football camps ran by “we make footballers” which have been a huge help to me as a working mum during the holidays.
These camps are extremely well organised, informative, flexible drop offs and fun filled. My son always feels a great sense of achievement at the end of the week and the reward of a medal and certificate is an added extra.
Would highly recommend to any parent looking for a holiday camp for their child.

This was my son’s first experience with We Make Footballers ABERDEEN, attending the Easter Camp this week — and he absolutely loved it! Each day, he came home excited to share what he’d learned and always had something positive to say. He really connected with the coaches, and it was clear to see how much he developed his skills throughout the week. He especially enjoyed the matches as well as playing Foot Golf.
A big thank you to David and all the coaches for creating such a fun and encouraging environment. The two-hour round trip each day was more than worth it, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book another camp in the future!

ABERDEEN
(ABERDEEN) my son goes to classes and has recently been to Easter camp, his football is coming on leaps and bounds. All coaches are welcoming and friendly. If the kids are struggling with anything during classes or camp coaches will take time to work with them on these things. David is a very understanding guy and will help you in any way he can.

More implication
Not enough attention for the kids skills...explication..warming up....practicing,to many kids for 1 coach and to less time.
Very disappointed about training camp, I have watched for 3-4 hours, 2 days in a row and it was basically children's ply ground...One more time the coaches must to pay more attention to the kids to discover and to development their skils

Hi Marius,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the training camp didn’t meet your expectations. We understand you attended the Medway West Easter Holiday Camp and will be reviewing your comments to ensure our standards were upheld.
At We Make Footballers, we pride ourselves on delivering a balance of fun and structured learning, with a coach-to-player ratio of no more than 1:10 to ensure each child receives quality attention. While this approach allows us to offer an engaging and affordable day for many players, we understand it may not offer the same level of individual focus as a 1-on-1 session. If a more personalised experience is something you’re looking for, we’d be happy to help arrange this.
We appreciate your observations around skill development and coach engagement, and take them seriously.
We’d really value the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand your experience. While we’ll be reaching out, please also feel free to contact us at info@wemakefootballers.com.
Thanks again for your feedback – it helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Gil and his team, specially coach Samuel, all from Sevenoaks are brilliant. They manage the sessions so well, very organised, structured, attentive to what each child needs and their level.

The Best Football School for kids in the UK
As parents, we constantly seek to find the best places in everything for our kids. Finding a good football school may be quite tricky and overwhelming. So many football schools are out there, and we may feel unsure which option would be best for us. I was fortunate enough to get into the Barcelona academy when I was 10 years old. I ended up choosing another career path; however, when I realised that my son Luigi seemed to be a very talented player, and based on my experience at La Masia, I started to be a bit demanding to choose Luigi’s football school. Once again, I was fortunate enough because we found Luigi, We Make Footballers. There are no questions that We Make Footballers are the very best with the very best professionals. The coaches are extremely attentive and constantly try to assess every single player individually and give all the necessary support for the kids to succeed. Whether you only want to have fun or get your kid on a professional football path, We Make Footballers is definitely what you need. Apart from assisting your kid, We Make Footballer runs events that place your kid face-to-face with scouts from the best football teams in the country. Their recent Fun Flair Festivals event, which was powered by We Make Footballer and with the partnership with Chelsea FC, placed Luigi in a priceless opportunity to show Chelsea scouts his talent. The coaches at the Fun Flair and the Chelsea Scouts were very attentive, professional, friendly and motivated and supported the kids attending the event so the kids could show all their talent and perform at their best. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing, and the games were very competitive. It was amazing to watch how talented a year-1 kid can be. I felt like we were at a decisive match in the Champions League. A massive Thank You to Lauren, Alex(Epsom) for supporting Luigi all those years, all We Make Footballer coaches, and all the Chelsea Scouts who massively contributed to making the event so enjoyable for us all, especially to the players participating at the Fun Flair Festivals.

Hi Guil,
Wow - what an incredible review. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in such detail.
It means a great deal to us that, with your background at Barcelona’s academy, you had such high standards when choosing a football school for Luigi - and that we’ve been able to meet those expectations. We're incredibly proud that you’ve entrusted us with Luigi’s football journey.
At We Make Footballers, we’re committed to helping every child "make it" - whether that’s making their first pass, making new friends, making it into their school team, or making it into a professional academy like Chelsea. It’s incredibly rewarding to see Luigi taking those steps, and we're so pleased that our Fun Flair Festival helped provide such a meaningful opportunity for him to shine in front of Chelsea scouts.
It’s wonderful to hear how much the Fun Flair Festivals (and our training at large) means to you and Luigi, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Lauren, Alex, and the rest of the team.
Thank you for being such a loyal part of the We Make Footballers family – we’re delighted to be on this journey with you and Luigi.
All the best!

I have been sending my children to We Make Footballers Teddington since they were 4 and 5 years old.
And they have been going to camp in almost every time they had.
They just love to go and play football.
The couches are amazing.
My youngest son Aaron he was 4 years old when we went to Fun Flair that’s where everything changed for us. Lauren saw Aaron had potential and invited him to Cobham after that we started to invest more in Aaron. Shortly after Fun Flair he was scouted and now he is at pre academy in Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Tottenham and QPR.
We will always be grateful to Lauren for seeing Aaron.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story – what an incredible journey. It’s wonderful to hear how much your boys have enjoyed their time at We Make Footballers Teddington over the years.
Aaron’s progression is truly inspiring. It’s amazing to know that the Fun Flair Festival played such a key role, and that Lauren’s encouragement helped open the door to such exciting opportunities. To be involved with pre-academy programmes at some of the country’s top clubs is a fantastic achievement – a real credit to Aaron’s talent and your support as a family.
We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Lauren and the team. Thank you again for being part of the We Make Footballers community – we’re so proud to have played a part in Aaron’s football journey.

Woking sessions - 10/10
Absolutely amazing experience so far! My son is really enjoying his sessions and the coaches are fantastic, they are always helping him when he struggles and praising him when he does well. The sessions are really well structured and the kids are never short of time with a ball at their feet. The coaches crouch down to speak to the kids so they’re at the same eye level and give all the children equal amounts of support and guidance. My son’s confidence and skills have improved significantly in only 4 sessions. Worth every penny!

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear that Teddy enjoyed the Football Flair Festival and found the matchups competitive and engaging! It’s great to know he had a positive experience with the activities and small-sided games.
We completely understand your point about receiving feedback and appreciate you raising it. With 80 children attending and the event being free, providing individual feedback to every player on the day isn’t currently feasible. However, we recognise how valuable feedback is and are actively working on ways to improve this, including recording sessions to offer post-event insights at scale.
We do have the event recorded, so if you’d like specific feedback on Teddy’s performance and areas to work on, we’d be happy to help. Please email info@wemakefootballers.com with your email address and Teddy’s full name, and we’ll do our best to provide some insights from the recordings to support his development.
We hope this helps make your experience with us a 5-star one! If you feel we’ve addressed your concerns, we’d really appreciate it if you could update your review to reflect your experience. 🙂
Thanks again for your support, and we hope to see you at another event soon!
