We provide weekly, indoor, skill development sessions for children who live locally to our venues. We welcome boys and girls of all abilities and interests.
Our sessions provide children aged 12-16 with intense, game-based learning and enjoyment. We also have pay-to-play sessions for all abilities of adult players.
Our single-venue, 4-aside Mini-Leagues have been specially designed to meet the needs of families. They are short duration, low cost, flexible and friendly.
Over the years, we have developed a wealth of knowledge, understanding and skill in many areas, including coaching children, working with families, starting a new business, mentoring young coaches and developing collaborative teams.
The Coach Education of our website has been specially developed over many years to identify and highlight key areas for development of MoF coaches. The resource has been accessed and used by hundreds of coaches across the world. Click here to view for yourself.

We work with families not just children. We know that children's journeys are best supported when they have family that understands what they need. We work hard to form strong relationships with parents and families, and we pride ourselves in continued, positive and two-way communication.
We have developed resources for parents and families to develop movement skills at home, and these are part of a well-used 'For Parents section' of the website, which you can view here.
We believe in the power of play to develop individual skills, bring people and communities together, and to help make society stronger, more inclusive and more democratic.
Football games - when they are served right - can provide access to states of great joy. The thrill of scoring a goal makes life more worthwhile. Friendship and connection are strengthened during play, and games can support holistic well-being and development.

Ministry of Football began in September 2007 with two children in a hall in Muswell Hill, London. Since then we have working with over 3000 families, and delivered hundreds of hours of intense, game-based, indoor football and futsal. Just like the children, we have learnt, we have grown, we have imagined new things. We hope some day you'll join us.
