Our Foundation Centres are designed to provide structured sessions that not only enhance your child’s football skills but also promote balance, coordination, teamwork, and listening abilities.

These programs offer many children their first taste of professional football coaching, with a strong focus on learning and development within a safe and enjoyable environment.

At the Swindon Town FC Community Foundation, we offer a diverse range of Foundation Centres located in various local leisure centres across Swindon and Wiltshire. These centres cater to children aged 18 months to 16 years, providing a perfect platform for having fun, making friends, staying active, and even acting as stepping stones for advancing football skills and abilities.

Our current Foundation Centres include:

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

From these Foundation Centres, players have the opportunity to progress further to our Advanced and Elite teams, fostering a pathway for continuous growth and development.

Courses align with the school term, but players can join at any time. The fees can vary slightly per session, typically amounting to around £5 per week, paid monthly.
