The TFG Football Academy in Leighton Buzzard delivers high-quality, fun and structured football training for boys and girls aged 5–11. Our weekly sessions follow the 5R’s development model, helping players build confidence, improve skills and enjoy the game in a positive environment.
“My son has been attending TFG camps and clubs for almost 5 years now, and my youngest two have also started attending. They all love it, and have such a great time when they’re there.”
About the sessions
Our Leighton Buzzard academy sessions focus on developing the complete footballer, not just technical ability.
Each session includes:
Ball mastery and skill development
Small-sided games
Game-realistic challenges
Positive coach feedback
All sessions are delivered in a supportive, pressure-free environment where enjoyment comes first.
Our 5R’s model focuses on developing the complete footballer, not just technical ability. Each session is carefully structured to develop all five key areas:
The 5 R’s
Running – movement, agility and coordination
Receiving – first touch and ball control
Releasing – passing, decision-making and awareness
Retention – ball protection and confidence in possession
Recovering – defensive skills and transition play
These areas are revisited throughout the programme to ensure consistent development.
