SEND & Inclusive Football Coaching
Every child deserves the opportunity to enjoy football.
Does your child love football but find traditional group sessions overwhelming?
At Play Footy, we believe football should be enjoyable and accessible to every child, regardless of their ability, confidence or individual needs.
Based in Brixworth, near Northampton, we offer personalised 1:1 football coaching for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent profiles.
We also welcome children who simply find larger groups challenging, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis.
A Different Approach to Football Coaching
Not every child thrives in a busy football academy or a large coaching group.
Some children benefit from a quieter environment, individual attention, more time to understand activities or the freedom to learn at their own pace.
Our sessions focus on:
• Building confidence and self-esteem
• Developing football skills through fun activities
• Adapting coaching to each child's needs and interests
• Providing a calm, encouraging environment
• Allowing breaks and flexibility when needed
• Helping children develop a positive relationship with football
No pressure. No comparisons. Just football, confidence and enjoyment.
