Our dedication to football for children, our commitment to building lasting friendships and stronger communities is at the heart of everything we do.
Join us today, and together, we’ll kick-start a journey of growth, achievement, and lifelong memories through the beautiful game.
We’ve devised an effective approach to our football coaching – each session your child attends will be positive, personal, professional and inclusive. We stick to great player-to-coach ratios to ensure every child gets the attention they deserve.
Our Technical Training Centres are located across Luton and Bedfordshire and are open to all children aged 5-12 (Reception to Year 6 pupils), with Year 7 pupils more than welcome to attend our Luton training centre. Those in reception to year 2 and in year 3 and above will be able to attend separate small group technical training sessions. Each session is created for those who want to gain additional coaching, improve on their technical and physical skills and learn in a fun and challenging environment, building new friendships alongside enjoying their football.
These sessions offer pathways into our invitational’ Ballerz’ football academy & other academy programmes. Find out more below. All technical training centres run on a half termly basis throughout the academic year for between 5 to 7 weeks dependant on the length of the school half term.

Testimonial
”The sessions have a very clear focus and the games are well thought out. It is really wonderful to see the coaches explain the purpose of various skills before the children then practise and embed them. Ralph attends other football session and the quality of your coaching has exceeded my expectations… thank you.”
