The goal at this stage is to introduce children to the basic concepts of football. We help the kids develop their social skills, interact with other children and most importantly HAVE FUN!
At Shoot Football Academy we aim to instill in our children a love of being active while developing a love for playing football.
Basic football skills are practiced by the children and good sporting behaviour is actively encouraged on and off the pitch.
Welcome to Shoot Football Academy - North West
At Shoot Football Academy we feel that young children of the 4 to 7 years age group require special coaching skills - you need a positive attitude, a great sense of humour, a little patience and a willingness to be silly (even at the expense of embarrassing yourself).
Our aim at Shoot Football Academy is simple - to provide the very best football coaching for young children in the Bolton and Wigan area - ensuring the responsibility and care of your child at all times. Your childrens enjoyment, learning and the fun they have at every one of our sessions is vital to our success.
Shoot Football Academy is run by an ex-professional footballer and all our football coaches have been C.R.B. checked and possess all the relevant coaching qualifications.

Football Training and Coaching for Boys (and Girls!)
We feel Shoot Football Academy is the right choice for your son or daughter. We endeavour to help learn the basics of the game whilst ensuring your child enjoys each session with fun-filled activities to keep them keen, with plenty of time on the ball with individual coaching as well as interacting with a group of children who will become their friends.
Shoot Football Academy do have a small charge of £3 per session but we are a non-profit making academy so all fees paid go back into the development of the academy.
We have regular achievement rewards e.g. during the last World Cup the children received a World Cup Beanie Bear and medal to celebrate the tournament. We like to encourage the children so they can can see how they are improving which is why we have included a photo gallery where you and your child can look at the regularly updated authorised pictures.
Coming soon ... a facility where the children can download fun games such as word searches, colouring-in competitions, design a football shirt and healthy option game. Our training doesn't just stop with the football session!
