Ballon Dor Football Academy Training

Pre-Academy Football Training for U3–U8s



Building Confidence. Developing Skills. Inspiring a Love for Football.

Is your little one ready to take their first steps into the world of football? At Ballon Dor Football Academy, our Pre-Academy programme provides the perfect introduction to the beautiful game for children aged U3–U8.


Our sessions are designed to help young players learn, explore and develop in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. Through engaging football activities and age-appropriate coaching, children begin building the foundations of their game while growing in confidence, coordination and a love for being active.


For our youngest players, the focus is on having fun, becoming comfortable with the ball and developing fundamental movement skills. As children progress, our coaching introduces more structured activities that develop ball mastery, close control, dribbling, passing, movement and decision-making.


We encourage every child to learn at their own pace, celebrate their progress and enjoy every moment on the pitch. Whether they are kicking a football for the first time or ready to develop their skills further, our Pre-Academy programme helps lay the foundations for their football journey.


Give your child the perfect start in football.

Football Programs from U3 to U16s

Ballon Dor Football Academy programs provide the perfect platform to ignite your child's passion and nurture their talent. We offer a structured and progressive curriculum for football for U3s to U16s. We focus on developing a well-rounded foundation in young players and building essential skills like movement patterns, first touch, and touch direction. We also emphasise the importance of teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. Training also involves ball manipulation and direction.

Through engaging drills and exercises, our experienced coaches cater to the specific age groups of 6-year-olds, football for 7-year-olds, and football for 8-year-olds, ensuring each child progresses at their own pace, receiving personalised guidance and maximising their learning potential.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Football Academy for U10s to U16s

Developing Talent. Elevating Performance. Preparing Players for the Next Level.


At Ballon Dor Football Academy, we are committed to helping ambitious young footballers unlock their full potential. Our Advanced Football Academy provides a challenging, high-quality training environment for players aged U10s–U16s who are ready to take their development to the next level.


Building on the foundations established through earlier training, our programme focuses on refining technical ability, strengthening tactical understanding and developing the confidence required to perform under pressure. We aim to nurture complete players who can adapt, think intelligently and make a meaningful impact on the pitch.

Through progressive, purposeful coaching, players develop advanced ball mastery, intricate passing combinations, intelligent movement, positional awareness and effective decision-making. Our sessions incorporate realistic match scenarios, encouraging players to apply their skills with precision, recognise opportunities, anticipate opponents’ movements and respond confidently to the demands of competitive football.


At Ballon Dor, we believe outstanding player development requires more than technical ability alone. We place equal importance on discipline, resilience, teamwork, work ethic and a strong understanding of the game. Every session is designed to challenge players, raise standards and encourage continuous improvement in a supportive, ambitious environment.


Our ambition is to help every player become more technically accomplished, tactically intelligent and mentally prepared to progress in football.



Give your child the opportunity to train with purpose, embrace new challenges and take the next step in their football journey.
