Football Lessons

Why not enrol your child on to our junior football programme at Waddon Leisure Centre so they can play the nation's favourite sport? With lessons and courses for kids from the age of 2 to 16 years, let your little one enjoy improving their skills while meeting new friends.

BOOK FOOTBALL LESSONS

Our football lessons are designed to put the fun into football coaching. We aim to create a fun environment that’s best designed to get children of all ages to learn the four core principles of passing, shooting, dribbling and control.

With a dedicated coach for every 16 participants starting out with fun technical drills and games then moving into small sided games your child will learn and develop not only their football skills but also create friendships, learn other social skills and develop their potential.

We can’t guarantee that your child will be the next Harry Kane but we can guarantee that they will receive top level coaching each and every week from our FA affiliated coaches and leave with a smile on their face.
