Sanders Football Coaching is proud to announce the launch of a brand new, high-level development initiative: the Sanders Football School Development Centre—an elite academy-style programme designed to develop confident, skilful, and intelligent young footballers.
This brand new 6-week block of sessions will take place at the fantastic facilities at Carlton Town Football Club, running from 5pm to 6pm for players in the Under 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10s age groups.
If you’re looking for a football environment that goes beyond your typical grassroots session—this is it.
The Sanders Football School Development Centre, part of Sanders Football Coaching, is an elite academy programmetailored for ambitious young players who want to push their game to the next level.
With a structured syllabus, individualised attention, and a focus on long-term player development, the programme offers an environment where players are challenged, supported, and inspired to grow both technically and mentally.
Whether your child is currently at a grassroots club or already on the radar of academies, this development centre is the perfect next step in their football journey towards academy football in Nottingham.
Our structured 6-week block is built around key themes that support all aspects of technical and tactical growth. Each week focuses on one specific area to give players the depth of understanding and repetition needed to make real progress.
We believe in developing the whole player—not just their on-pitch ability. That’s why we include a range of extras to ensure a truly comprehensive experience:
Each player receives a detailed termly report outlining their strengths, progress areas, and next steps—helping parents and players stay on track.
Football is as much mental as it is physical. Our mindset calls focus on confidence, focus, resilience, and building a positive approach to development and competition.
Players can represent the Football School in structured academy fixtures, testing their skills in a competitive environment against top development teams.
At Sanders Football Coaching, we’re committed to excellence in player development. Our programmes are designed by experienced coaches who know how to unlock potential and build well-rounded footballers. The Sanders Football School Development Centre is the next evolution in our mission—to deliver academy-level coaching to passionate young players in the community.
If your child is serious about improving their game, the Sanders Football School is the perfect place to start that journey.
The Elite Academy Program is designed for highly motivated players who want to take their game to the next level. It’s aimed at those who are already performing at an advanced level and looking for professional coaching, intensive training, and exposure to competitive environments.
