Football should be the most fun thing in a young child's week — and at the Pre-Academy, we make sure it is. Designed specifically for children aged 5 to 7, this introductory program uses play-based learning to introduce the very basics of football in a joyful, pressure-free setting.
Sessions run once per week and are kept short, energetic, and engaging. Our coaches are trained to work with very young children, using games, activities, and creative exercises to develop coordination, balance, spatial awareness, and basic ball-handling skills. There are no tactics, no league tables, and no pressure — just football, fun, and lots of smiling faces.
The Pre-Academy is also a wonderful way for children to make new friends, develop confidence, and discover a love for sport that can last a lifetime. Many of our Pre-Academy players go on to join the Junior Academy and continue their development through the full Farham pathway.
All equipment is provided. Simply bring your child in comfortable sportswear and let us take care of the rest. Places are limited to keep group sizes small and sessions high-quality, so we recommend registering early.
