Location: Co-op Academy Failsworth, M35 9HA.
The session takes place on the secured MUGA within the academy’s main school grounds. Please enter the …more school grounds and make your way to the enclosed football pitch. This is separate from Failsworth Soccer Centre, which is located across the road.
Please arrive approximately 5–10 minutes before the advertised start time so your child can become familiar with the surroundings without feeling rushed.
PITCH AND FOOTWEAR
The MUGA is a firm 2G-style surface. It is not grass or modern 3G artificial turf.
Children should wear comfortable trainers or suitable flat-soled sports footwear. Please do not wear studded, bladed or moulded football boots, as these are unsuitable for this surface and may increase the risk of slipping, discomfort or injury.
PREPARING FOR THE SESSION
Please bring:
* A clearly labelled drink
* Comfortable sports clothing
* A waterproof layer in wet weather
* Warm layers during colder months
* Sun cream and suitable protection during warmer weather
* Any essential sensory or regulation item your child may need
* Any essential medication, such as an inhaler, which must remain with the parent, carer or responsible support adult unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed in advance
Sessions operate outdoors throughout the year. We will only cancel or alter a session in exceptional conditions, such as lightning, extreme heat, severe rain, ice or an unsafe playing surface. If a session must be cancelled, BTG will contact booked families directly.
Parents and carers are welcome to remain and watch. For a child’s first session, we strongly recommend that a parent, carer or responsible support adult remains on site. Children may observe, take breaks and join activities at their own pace—there is no pressure to participate immediately or complete every activity.
Please ensure all relevant communication, sensory, medical, behavioural and support information is completed during booking so our coaches can prepare appropriately.
Toilet facilities are available. A parent, carer or responsible support adult must accompany any child who requires assistance or supervision with toileting or personal care.
If you have difficulty locating the pitch on arrival, please contact Marc on 07920 397620.

A gentle introduction to structured football coaching for children with SEND or additional needs.
Young Stars: Explorers bridges the gap between guided play and more structured football sessions. Children enjoy playful football activities, simple movement games and supported group challenges using clear demonstrations and short instructions.
Sessions focus on helping children develop:
Confidence and independence
Listening and understanding
Movement and coordination
Basic football skills
Communication and friendships
Comfort within a group environment
Children can participate at their own pace, take regulation breaks and receive support from a parent or carer where helpful. There is no pressure to complete every activity.
Age ranges are provided as a guide. We recommend groups based on each child’s confidence, communication, support needs and readiness for structured activities.
No formal diagnosis or previous football experience is required.
First session free.
