Our first step is available for all players. Whether they have only just started on their football journey or have played for a while. Community centres are the best environment for player’s to learn the skills of football.

These programmes will provide fun and enjoyment within schools, for pre-schoolers and out within the community.

Development

Our development centres provide players the opportunity to receive extra technical training. They are highly suitable for players who have been playing football and futsal regularly.

Our philosophy at our Development Centre’s is to teach in-game related practices, individual and group/team challenges to ensure all players are developing their technical and social aspects of the game. Players receive expert coaching from experienced FA & UEFA qualified coaches. In addition, players represent FFG in organised fixtures and will receive feedback on their progression after the training block is complete.
