Welcome to CNS Academy

Where Football Meets Fun, Energy, and Development

At CNS Coaching, we believe football is more than just a game. It’s an opportunity for children to develop vital life skills, build lasting friendships, and foster a lifelong passion for the sport. We are a football academy designed specifically for young children, offering a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids can learn, grow, and have an incredible time on and off the pitch.

With a rich foundation built on energy, fun, and development, our academy is led by a UEFA Elite Youth A-Licensed coach with over 22 years of experience. We are committed to helping children between the ages of 3 and 9 grow in confidence, improve their football skills, and understand the values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.

Our Mission

At CNS Coaching, our mission is simple: To create a fun, positive, and safe environment where children can discover the joy of football, develop their skills, and grow as individuals. We’re dedicated to ensuring that every child who walks through our doors experiences football in a way that sparks their imagination, boosts their confidence, and helps them build valuable life skills.

We focus on teaching the fundamentals of football in an age-appropriate and engaging way, allowing children to progress at their own pace while fostering a love for the game. From their first touch of the ball to mastering essential techniques, our approach is tailored to nurture their development in an environment where they can feel confident and excited to play.

Our Approach to Coaching

Our coaching philosophy is centred around three core values:

  • Fun: We firmly believe that football should be enjoyable above all else. Our sessions are designed to be energetic, exciting, and fun so that every child looks forward to returning. When kids are having fun, they’re more engaged and ready to learn.

  • Development: It’s not just about football; it’s about developing the whole child. We believe in helping children develop their skills, confidence, and understanding of the game. Our coaching encourages personal growth on and off the field, helping them build their football abilities and leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

  • Energy: Every session is full of energy and enthusiasm. We create a positive atmosphere that motivates children to give their best effort, stay engaged, and strive to improve. Our coaches lead by example, bringing passion and excitement to each session.
