Grassroots fun, academy standards
PFA United nurtures young players and gives them the chance to play socially or competitively. The academy is open to everyone, whatever their background, gender or ability.
Bridging grassroots and academy football
We offer professional football coaching for boys and girls, so every child gets a learning experience close to what a professional academy provides. Our coaches are qualified and experienced in youth football and player development, and every session runs in a safe, secure environment.
We work with local schools, youth services and community organisations, and we want players to develop their knowledge of the game, play the right way, and enjoy staying fit and healthy.
The PFA United method
High-tempo ball mastery, 1v1 confidence and tactical awareness, with each player's development at the centre.
The FA four-corner model
Technical, tactical, social and physical development in every session.
Individual development plans
Every player has their own goals and targets, monitored by their coaches.
Homework
Players take ownership of their own development between sessions.
Feedback for parents
Regular feedback and advice on how to help your child on and off the pitch.
Healthy habits
Fitness, nutrition and looking after yourself are part of the programme.
Respect, discipline, sportsmanship
Humble and gracious in victory and defeat, respectful to peers, officials and opponents.
League football and tournaments
PFA United teams play in local Saturday and Sunday leagues, and each season we enter tournaments so players get competitive football in a controlled, supportive setting.
Players move into a team when their coach feels they are ready. Ask at any session.
Every child knows every coach
We aim to create the best environment for young players to thrive under highly skilled, qualified coaches. Each child has a personal development plan, and our coaches know every player by name.
