The STFC Community Foundation’s Youth Foundation Centres are a key step on the path to your child developing their footballing skills and ability.

The hugely popular programme is rolled out throughout the Borough of Swindon and the surrounding areas. Each week, offering structured technical coaching sessions to over 700 girls and boys of all abilities.

These one-hour weekly sessions, offered here at Foundation Park, as well as local sports and leisure centres, are delivered in three stages consisting of: 

• A warm up
• A technical coaching session delivered by Swindon Town Foundation FA level 2 and UEFA qualified coaches
• A coached game, to allow the group to put into practice the skills and techniques learnt throughout the session. 

In addition to helping your child improve their football ability, we also promote social interaction, and help educate on the importance of team work, communication, and fitness.

The Youth Foundation Centres enable our FA level 2 and UEFA Qualified coaches to identify any talented players who have the potential to progress to our Youth Foundation Invitational Centres, and to the Girls’ Centre of Excellence programme or our Elite and Advanced programmes.

The courses run alongside the school term, and cost just £5 per session.
