WOOLTON F.C. ACADEMY (LIVERPOOL)

We are an established academy which provides football training for children from the age of 3 upwards.

Amongst the volunteer coaches there are two main coaches, they are Kenny Saunders and Colin Windrow. Between us we have been coaching children for over 30 years. Our aim is to provide fun, enthusiasm and a sense of being part of group. Our ethos is that every child matters, whatever their ability.

We aim to teach every child and parent the correct way of how to conduct themselves both on the football pitch and on the sidelines.

Here at Woolton we have a code of conduct that will bring each child on both in footballing development and also communication skills.

We as coaches demand certain requirements from children and parents, these are:

Respect the volunteer coaches

Turn up for training on time

Always wear the Woolton kit

Always wear both boots and shin pads

The children must be good at home and in school or they do not come to our sessions

Having fun is a requirement
