We provide weekly, indoor, skill development sessions for children who live locally to our venues. We welcome boys and girls of all abilities and interests. Our single-venue, 4-aside Mini-Leagues have been specially designed to meet the needs of families. They are short duration, low cost, flexible and friendly.
We have developed a brilliant, free, online tool for young players which helps them reflect on their football learning and provides relevant content to help them grow, learn and progress. Starring Leo Messi, Steph Houghton and many more.

This graphic shows how we align our values with beliefs, strategies and pedagogies in order to ensure we stay true to what we believe. Our sessions are different from most other providers because we understand that football coaching is only a small part of our responsibility as adults in charge of children's play time.
Our sessions for this age group are taught in groups of 6-12 children, indoors, with expert teacher. Our sessions are one hour long, and we pride ourselves on using every minute of that time for learning. We use futsal balls as this increases the amount of time the ball is on the floor and playable.

We take the development of coaches every bit as seriously as the development of children. We are proud of the difference that MoF has had for coaches who have worked on the programme, and of our contribution to the wider national discussion on children's play and development. Our Coach Education section of the website was originally put together to help new MoF coaches understand the programme and expectations.
