Inspiring Girls Through Football

Check with the Academy Manager to confirm whether the session is indoors or outdoors. If training is indoors in a sports hall, football boots with studs are not allowed, so suitable indoor football shoes or trainers are required. If you're unsure, bringing both indoor and outdoor footwear ensures your child is prepared for any conditions. Your child should wear comfortable sportswear suitable for football and bring a water bottle, as there are two short drink breaks during the session. We offer a We Make Footballers player kit for purchase, but wearing it is optional.

Our girls’ training sessions are open to players of all abilities, whether your daughter is new to football, already plays regularly or is looking to progress into academy football. We welcome girls aged 4 - 16 who want to develop their skills, make new friends, and have fun in a supportive environment, helping them to reach their full potential.

No, our sessions are designed for all experience levels! Whether your daughter is a beginner or has been playing for years, our coaches will ensure she is supported and challenged at the right level. Our qualified coaches provide plenty of encouragement and praise to create a positive environment where players feel comfortable, build confidence, and enjoy learning new skills at their own pace.

Each session follows our winning 10:10:10:30 formula. A 10 minute ball manipulation warm up, two 10 minute football drills, and 30 minutes of small-sided games. Our focus is on building confidence, teamwork, and a love for football while ensuring players develop correct technique from a young age, helping them become the best footballers they can be.

We believe it’s essential for girls to have access to top-quality football coaching in their local area, delivered by qualified coaches. We strive to include female coaches in all of our girls’ sessions, providing players with role models who have played women’s football themselves and can share their knowledge, experience, and passion for the game.

We offer a free taster session so your daughter can come along, get involved, and see if she enjoys it before committing. You can sign up for a free taster session at one of our girls’ classes online via our website or call the mobile number listed for more details. Our team is happy to answer any questions and help you find the best session for your daughter.
In addition to weekly training, we also run girls’ football development camps, tournament days, and talent ID events, providing even more opportunities for players to learn, compete, and showcase their skills. Contact us today to find out more and get involved!

Absolutely! We encourage players to bring friends along to our sessions, as having a familiar face can make the experience even more enjoyable and help build confidence. Football is all about teamwork and making new friends, and we love seeing players share their passion for the game with others.
If your daughter would like to bring a friend, just let us know in advance so we can ensure there is space and book them in for a free taster session. Our friendly coaches will make sure they feel welcome and included from the moment they arrive.

Definitely! The majority of girls who attend our sessions start off not knowing anyone in the class, and quickly make new friends. We understand that it can feel a little daunting to join a class where your daughter doesn’t know anyone, but we’re confident she’ll have a great time. Our coaches are experienced at creating a welcoming and supportive environment where every player feels included, no matter their experience level.
Football is a fantastic way to make new friends and build confidence, and we prioritise fostering teamwork throughout each session. Your daughter will be encouraged to work with different players, and before long, she’ll be having fun, learning new skills, and making friends in the process.

Our coaches are experienced in identifying players’ strengths and development areas, and they can provide guidance on the best pathway for your daughter’s development.
Whether your daughter is looking to join a local team, progress to a more competitive academy, or even explore talent identification opportunities, we can provide tailored advice and support. We work closely with various teams and academies to ensure that talented players have the chance to take the next step in their football journey when they’re ready. Our goal is to not only develop individual skills but also help young players build the confidence and experience needed to succeed in team football.

Yes, parents are welcome to stay and watch if they’d like. However, we encourage players to build confidence and independence, so we ask parents to watch from the sidelines and allow the coaches to run the session.

Yes, we’re proud to have trained over 50 female coaches, many now at top clubs and organisations. Many of our coaches started as players in our girls’ training sessions at a young age and have since progressed into strong, confident coaches following our coach training programme.
These coaches have firsthand experience of the development journey and are passionate about giving back to the next generation of players. They bring not only their technical knowledge but also their personal experiences, inspiring young girls to reach their full potential and showing them what’s possible in football. It’s a great example of how our training sessions support long-term growth, both on and off the pitch, and create strong role models for the girls in our programs.
