Not your average kids' football session
We've been coaching children's football in Leeds since 2014, and we've never stopped studying how kids actually learn the game. Here's what makes us different.
Confidence first
You'll never hear our coaches barking from the sideline. We build children up, not knock them down, and parents tell us the confidence carries way beyond football, into school and friendships too.
Games, not queues
No standing in line waiting for a turn. Our games-based method, what we call Train the Game, keeps every child on the ball and learning the way kids actually learn it, by playing.
All abilities, grouped properly
Complete beginner or club regular, your child trains alongside players at their level. Nobody feels lost, nobody coasts, and every child is exactly where they should be.
Coaches kids adore
DBS-checked, properly qualified, and genuinely brilliant with children. The kind of coaches your child will talk about all the way home.
Where it really leads
More than football
Some of our players go on to join professional club academies, others their first grassroots team. But that was never really the point. For most children, what they take away is bigger than football: the confidence to try, the resilience to get things wrong and go again, friends they'll keep for years, and a love of being active that sticks long after they've left us.
That's what a good football school does. We just happen to teach it with a ball.
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.
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?
That's exactly who we're for. Sessions are grouped by ability, so beginners start alongside other beginners and never feel out of their depth. We coach children taking their very first kicks right through to club-level players, and everyone in between. Your child does not need to be any good to start. That's our job.
My child is shy or lacks confidence. Will they be okay?
Honestly, this is what we do best. Our coaches are brilliant at settling nervous children in, and we'll never put a child on the spot or single them out. Building quiet confidence, the kind parents tell us shows up at school too, is the thing we're proudest of.
Can we try before committing?
Yes. Your first session is a completely free taster, with nothing to pay and no details needed beyond booking your place. If you do join, you're covered by our 4-session guarantee: a full refund if your child decides it's not for them.
Are you really on all year?
Almost. Weekly sessions run right through the school holidays, with the only break between Christmas and New Year. Any term-time-only sessions are clearly marked.
What does it cost?
You pay monthly by direct debit, with no long contract, and you can cancel anytime with no penalty. Book a free taster and we'll give you the exact price for your chosen session, no obligation to go ahead.
Ready to see your child's face light up?
Book a free taster session and come and see for yourself. No commitment, no payment details, no pressure. Just a child who can't wait to come back.
