5R’s Community Football Programme (Ages 5–11)
The TFG Football Academy delivers high-quality coaching through our 5R’s Community Football Programme. Open to boys and girls aged 5–11, our sessions focus on developing confident players in a positive, supportive and enjoyable environment – where learning and enjoyment come 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:
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.

We create an environment where children feel encouraged to try, learn and improve – without pressure.

Since we began in 2013 we have had many success stories, the main achievement being each player developing their football ability and enjoyment of the game
We have strong links with local Professional Clubs and have seen the following during this time
Spaces are limited at each venue to maintain coaching quality.
