A Franchise for a Coach, Not an Investor.
You lead the sessions, you are the face parents know, and you build the centre. We give you the model, the brand and the back office so your evenings go on coaching rather than chasing payments.

The coaching curriculum
Session structure and plans from Mini Stars to Academy age groups.
03
The platform that runs it
Registration, monthly payments, registers, parent communication and a parent app — set up for your centre and walled off from everyone else's.
04
Safeguarding and policies
Our full policy set, ready to adopt.
05
Launch support
Venue, launch tasters, and Matt alongside you for your first weeks.

The Numbers
Two fees. Nothing hidden.
Territory fee
£4,995 + VAT
One-off. Secures your exclusive territory and covers set-up.
Licence
£1 per player per month
No flat monthly charge.
Based on our standard £25 monthly membership. Monthly figures.
| Players | Membership income | Licence to SSA | Income before your costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | £1,000 | £40 | £960 |
| 80 | £2,000 | £80 | £1,920 |
| 120 | £3,000 | £120 | £2,880 |
| 160 | £4,000 | £160 | £3,840 |
Your own costs come out of the last column: venue hire, any coaches you employ, insurance and kit. Holiday camps and the one-off kit charge on joining are not included. These figures are illustrations, not a forecast or a promise of earnings. What any centre earns depends on its venue, its coach and its area. Full terms are set out in the franchise agreement.
How It Works
Five steps, no pressure.
Get in touch
Send the enquiry form below, or download the prospectus first and read it at your own pace.
A conversation with Matt
A phone call or a coffee. What you have coached, where you are, and whether this is the right fit on both sides.
See it on the grass
Come to a Monday at Kirby Muxloe or a Friday at Earl Shilton and watch the sessions run.
Agree your territory
The area, the fee, the agreement. Nothing is signed until you have seen everything.
Launch
Venue booked, tasters advertised, your page live. Matt is alongside you for the first weeks.
What We Look For.
- UEFA C as a minimum. UEFA B, or working towards it, is a strong plus.
- An in-date enhanced DBS. On the update service ideally. If yours has lapsed we will process a new one.
- FA Safeguarding Children. In date. Non-negotiable, for obvious reasons.
- FA Emergency First Aid in Football. Or an equivalent.
We want coaches who are still interested in the child who is not the best player in the group.
