Why parents pick us

Not your average kids' football session

We've been coaching children in Leeds since 2014, and we've never stopped studying how kids actually learn the game.

01

Games, not queues

No standing in line waiting for a turn. Our games-based method keeps every child on the ball and learning the way kids actually learn: by playing.

02

Grouped by ability, not just age

Complete beginner or club standout, your child trains with players at their level, so nobody feels lost and nobody coasts.

03

Confidence first

You'll never hear our coaches bark instructions from the sideline. We build players up, and parents tell us the confidence shows up at school too.

04

Coaches kids adore

DBS-checked, properly qualified and genuinely brilliant with children. Several of our team also coach at professional club academies.

Where it can lead

From our pitches to pro academies

Most kids come to us for fun and confidence, and that's exactly the point. But for the ones who push on, the ceiling is high.

Parents' words, not ours

Why families stay for years

My son absolutely loves it at Foot-Tech. He's on his 3rd week and he looks forward to it all week! As soon as he did his taster session he immediately wanted to go back. Foot-Tech are a very supportive company, always around to help and support their players. I recommend them 100%.

Nick his coach has been brilliant with him and Caiden does nothing but say good things about everyone there. His confidence has come on so much, and to hear how excited he gets before each session is brilliant. The impact it has had on Caiden already is fab.
Melissa Mum of Caiden
The coaches were great at settling Blake in his early sessions and the support he has had since has been top drawer. We have seen a big improvement in just a few weeks in both his football skills and his interactions with others in the group.

Good to know

Questions parents ask first

What if my child has never played before?

Perfect: groups are split by ability, so beginners start alongside other beginners. We help children taking their very first steps in sport right up to academy-level players.

Can we try before committing?

Yes. Your first session is a completely free taster. If you join, there's a 4-session guarantee: 100% of your money back if your child doesn't want to continue.

Are you really on all year?

Almost! Weekly sessions run right through the school holidays (the only break is between Christmas and New Year). Term-time-only sessions are clearly marked.

What does it cost?

You pay monthly by direct debit through GoCardless, with no long contract, and you can cancel any time with no penalty. Book a free taster and we'll give you the exact price for your chosen session.
