Football Futures

This time over to Gigg Lane, for our latest u16 recruitment session for Football Futures Bury FC.

One of the largest turnouts we've had, just shows the popularity of Football Futures right across Greater Manchester.

🎨🔫🪖 🥽 Let's go!!!!!

As a bit of a reward for the Football Futures Manchester lads, they were treated to an epic battle of paintball. A much deserved bonus for the students, and staff, after all the hard work and effort put in, not only recently, but over the last 3 years.

It will always remain the case that one of the main benefits of joining a specialist football college programme is the camaraderie and friendship built throughout their time on the programme.

Days like this and the recent trip to Spain are exactly why Football Futures and Access Sport model stands apart.

🎬 Little snapshot of the visit from ex-professional footballer Danny Whittaker.

Danny made over 800 professional appearances for the likes of Macclesfield Town, Port Vale, Oldham Athletic and Chesterfield. It was fantastic for the Football Futures Manchester students to take part in a session and gain some valuable insight from someone as experienced as Danny.

Something we'll look to do more of in 2026/27.

A look behind the scenes at Football Futures Manchester, where as the season comes to an end, attention turns to 1-to-1 & small group work.

At FF we find this type of inclusive training is highly effective because it provides personalised, training tailored to a player’s specific needs, allowing them to improve technical skills, tactical awareness, and confidence often faster than in team settings.

At FF we like to provide focused attention from our coaches, maximising ball touches and enabling instant correction of mistakes, all with a view to improving performance.

Plus,, the lads love it ❤️⚽️
