ABOUT US
Changing Lives
and empower the next generation through football.
WHAT WE DO
At One Football Academy, we are committed to developing more than just footballers, we develop confident, disciplined, and resilient young people. Our programmes are carefully designed to nurture talent at every level, whether a child is taking their very first steps in football or looking to progress into competitive pathways.
We provide structured, high-quality coaching sessions that focus on technical ability, tactical understanding, physical development, and most importantly, personal growth. Through football, we instil core values such as respect, teamwork, accountability, and a strong work ethic, qualities that extend far beyond the pitch and into everyday life.
Our sessions cater for children aged 2–18 and are tailored to suit different abilities and stages of development. From fun, engaging introduction sessions for toddlers, to advanced training and competitive opportunities for older players, we ensure every individual receives the right level of support and challenge.

Our aim is to provide a constructive outlet for young people, helping to steer them away from negative influences while building confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging.

We understand that every player’s journey is different. That’s why we offer both recreational and competitive pathways. Whether a player wants to enjoy football socially or pursue it at a higher level, we provide the platform and guidance to help them achieve their goals. Our development pathway focuses on: Building strong technical foundations Developing game intelligence and decision-making Encouraging creativity and self-expression Preparing players for grassroots and academy-level football We also create opportunities for players to showcase their abilities through matches, tournaments, and development fixtures.

All staff are DBS-checked and trained in safeguarding, ensuring that every session is delivered in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. We pride ourselves on maintaining high standards across all aspects of the academy. From session planning to player welfare, everything we do is centred around maximising each child’s potential while ensuring they enjoy their football journey.

We are committed to building a safe, structured, and inspiring space where players feel supported, challenged, and motivated to reach their full potential.
