Spotlight on Foot-Tech Academy

Foot-Tech Academy offers innovative children’s football coaching in North Leeds.

Founded in 2014 by an experienced professional football coach and a successful primary school teacher, we originally set out to create the next Messi or Ronaldo…but we quickly realised those two are from another planet!

What we did find was that we could use football training for so much more.

Parents spoke to us about their real concerns for their children – health, making friends and confidence. They wanted their child to keep active and not be the one picked last in the playground.

Our curriculum has been developed to tackle these concerns and since 2014 we’ve made a difference to the lives of over 1000 children in Leeds through our weekly group sessions (for 4-14 years), one to one football coaching, holiday camps and after-school clubs.

What makes us different?

We are not a team. We provide the extra training children need to quickly improve.

It means your child can train in a no-pressure environment as they don’t need to worry about getting picked for a team.

They are encouraged to be really creative by trying fun new skills and tricks which boost confidence and are a huge reason why our parents see such a quick development in their child.

We also have a very low player to coach ratio with at least 2-3 coaches per group to ensure your child gets the attention and specific coaching points that THEY need. Your child will have the same coach and have chance to build a positive relationship with them.

For us it is about the individual needs of your child who also gets the added social benefits of a group session.

Who is Foot-Tech for?

Our groups are split by ability so we are able to help absolute beginners taking their first steps into sport, right the way up to children who play at a high level.

We make children better at football in a fun, enjoyable environment regardless of age or ability.
