About this business
The Manchester City Football School is a weekly term programme for children aged 6–16, open to boys and girls of all abilities. Sessions take place at the City Football Academy, the facility used by Manchester City's first team, Women's team and Boys and Girls Academy teams.
The year-round programme is split into four courses: Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. Sessions are delivered by established Manchester City coaches following the same philosophy used to develop the club's own players, in a fun, positive and safe learning environment. Players work on technical development, decision making, confidence and creativity, and also have the opportunity to experience other City Football Group clubs through trips and tours.
Course content covers the fundamentals of attacking play and defending, confidence and creativity in 1v1 situations, and mini-games such as 3v3s and 4v4s that build understanding of roles, formations and positions ahead of 11v11 football in later years.
