Workshops & Presentations
Football workshops, presentations and coach mentorship for adult learners, clubs, schools and coaches alike. Discussion-led, with elite-level expertise behind every session, and delivered in partnership with the Workers' Educational Association.
- In Partnership with the WEA
- Discussion & Q&A
- In-Person & Online
- No Qualifications Needed
These are conversations, not lectures. Football is globally recognised, cross-generational and genuinely felt as a subject. These workshops treat it accordingly. Sessions are built around curiosity, shared cultural interest and honest discussion. Participants are invited to bring their own knowledge, memories and questions. There is no qualification at the end. There does not need to be.
Alongside the discussion workshops, the same approach is offered to clubs, academies, schools and individual coaches, through targeted training workshops and one-to-one coach mentorship. Coaching content is shaped around the group, from player development and talent identification to session design and communication with players and parents.
Expertise through experience
Insight from inside elite football. Not from a textbook. WSL, England Senior Women's, Newcastle United Academy.
Discussion and Q&A format
Every session is structured around discussion and questions. No passive listening. Participants shape the conversation.

No football qualification needed. Cultural workshops welcome genuine curiosity, whatever your background.
Tailored to your group
Topics can be shaped around your group's interests, age profile or focus area: cultural, technical or both.
