Get Into Football is IJF Academy’s entry point for our youngest players. The programme is designed specifically for younger children who are taking their first steps into organised sport. The aim is simple: create a safe, fun and positive environment where children can develop confidence, coordination and a love for football.
Sessions are playful, energetic and age-appropriate, led by our UEFA-qualified coaching team who understand how young children learn. The focus is on movement, balance, basic ball skills and building comfort in a group setting. There is no pressure to perform and no expectation beyond enjoying the experience.
Get Into Football sits at the foundation of our Play, Develop, Compete pathway. It helps children gain the physical and social skills that prepare them for the next stages of their football journey, while giving them the chance to enjoy the game in its most simple and exciting form.
For young players, and for parents looking for the right start, this is where the journey begins.
Our development football session for children aged 5 – 7 years is designed to build skills, confidence, and a love for the game. Each session includes structured activities focusing on dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork, all delivered in a fun and supportive environment.
Coaches use age-appropriate drills and small-sided games to develop coordination, decision-making, and spatial awareness. With a balance of learning and play, children are encouraged to express themselves, try new skills, and enjoy every moment on the pitch. Whether your child is new to football or looking to improve, this session is the perfect next step in their journey.
Our development football session for children aged 8 and above is designed to take their skills to the next level.

Coaches encourage creativity, decision-making, and good sportsmanship, helping each child grow in confidence and ability. Whether your child is aiming to improve for school teams or just loves the game, this session offers the perfect blend of challenge, development, and enjoyment on the pitch.
