Football For All: Bringing Young People Together
Our Football For All sessions continue to welcome children aged 4–16 from across the community, offering an inclusive and friendly environment where everyone can enjoy the game at their own pace.
Each 90-minute session is shaped around fun, development, and participation. Children begin with a dynamic warm-up, build their skills through engaging activities, and round off with small-sided matches tailored to their age group. The aim is always the same: to help every young player feel confident, active, and part of a team.
Brothers Harry (8) and Teddy (7) have become familiar faces at our holiday camps. They both thrive in an environment where they can stay active, play lots of games, and enjoy football with their friends.
When asked what keeps them coming back, they said:
“We just love to play football and have fun with our friends and also making new friends & the coaches make it so enjoyable.”
Stories like theirs capture what our programmes are all about, creating opportunities for children to be themselves, build friendships, and feel part of a wider football family.
Our coaching staff play a huge part in this. With their experience, enthusiasm, and supportive approach, they create a space where children feel encouraged to try new things, learn from each other, and enjoy football without pressure.
Scott Lockwood, one of our Senior Officer’s at the Foundation said:
”Our sessions provide so much for the local community, we have a real family feel & really represent the AFC Wimbledon Foundation value. Our kids & parents even wanted to do sessions over the Christmas holiday!”
Your support has allowed us to grant that wish this Christmas, as we’re excited to announce that bookings are now open for our Christmas Holiday Camp aka The Christmas Drop and Shop.
