Our Story
About Two Touch Football
Passionate coaches. Proven methods. Player-first philosophy.
Who We Are
Built on a Love for the Game
Two Touch Football was founded with one simple goal — to give young players the technical foundation they need to enjoy and excel at football.
We believe that the best footballers aren't just physically gifted — they're technically sharp, mentally aware, and confident on the ball. That's exactly what our sessions are designed to develop.
From our first Junior class to our growing Girls and Youth programmes, everything we do is guided by a commitment to quality coaching, a positive environment, and genuine player development.
Two Touch Football founded with a single Junior class of 8 players.
Girls Programme launched in response to growing demand for female-specific coaching.
Youth Classes introduced for players aged 9–14 seeking academy-level development.
Expanded to multiple weekly sessions across weekdays and weekends.
Over 200 players trained through our programmes since founding.
Continued growth with new venues and an expanded coaching team.

How We Coach
Our Training Philosophy
Everything we do is built around a simple belief — that with the right coaching, every player can improve.
Warm Up & Activation
Every session begins with dynamic movement and ball work to prepare players physically and mentally.
Technical Drills
Focused two-touch exercises that isolate and develop specific skills — first touch, passing, movement off the ball.
Small-Sided Games
Players apply what they've learned in game-realistic scenarios, reinforcing decision-making under pressure.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Player First
Every decision we make is centred around the development and wellbeing of the player. We tailor sessions to individual needs and ensure every child feels valued.
Structured Learning
Our sessions follow a clear, progressive curriculum. Players build on skills week by week, developing confidence and competence at every stage.
Safe Environment
All coaches hold current FA Safeguarding certificates and First Aid qualifications. The safety and welfare of every player is our top priority.
Positive Culture
We celebrate effort, not just ability. Our coaches create an atmosphere where mistakes are part of learning and every player is encouraged to express themselves.
Qualified Coaches
Every coach holds recognised FA qualifications and undergoes regular continued professional development to stay at the forefront of coaching practice.
Proven Methods
Our two-touch training methodology is used by professional academies worldwide. We bring those same principles to grassroots football in a fun, accessible way.
