Football Academy

Here at Gold Talents we are committed to providing safe and fun coaching sessions for children. There are plenty of Gold Talents opportunities for children of different age groups regardless of their gender or ability. Our objective is to help our children primarily enjoy the game and develop their communication skills, improve confidence and learn to be part of a team while also emphasizing the health benefits of sports.

Our programmes are developed by UEFA and FA Qualified Coaches who are also DBS cleared and hold current First Aid certificates, FA Child Protection Workshop Certificate and FA Law of the Game certificate.

We are confident your child will love their lively and excitement-filled football session, where safety, fun and development are more important than winning.
