Our Foundation Centres are comprised of structured sessions devised to improve your child’s football skills, as well as their balance, coordination, team work and listening skills.

The programme gives many children their very first experience of participating within a professional football coaching session, and the emphasis is on the children learning and developing within a safe and fun environment.

At the Swindon Town FC Community Foundation, we provide a wide variety of Foundation Centres within local leisure centres throughout Swindon and the county of Wiltshire, tailored for children from the ages of 2 to 16 years. These centres provide an opportunity to have fun, meet people and keep fit, and can also serve as stepping stones on the pathway to progressing football skills and ability.

The Centres that we currently run are:

• Mini Foundation (2−4 years)
• Junior Foundation (4−6 years)
• Youth Foundation (6−14 years)
• Girls Only Youth Foundation (6−14 years)

From our Foundation Centres, players have the potential to progress to our Advanced and Elite teams.

A course runs alongside the school term, but players can join at any time. The cost can vary slightly by session, but cost around £5 per week, which is paid in a block up until the end of term.
