⚽ PLAYER PODS | TRIAL BOOKINGS NOW OPEN

Think your player is ready to be pushed further? 👀

We’ve opened Player Pods for individual trial bookings at £12 per session.

Player Pods are high-intensity, high-demand development sessions for players already playing within intermediate or advanced teams.

⚠️ Player Pods are only open to players currently playing 7-a-side through to 11-a-side football.

Sessions are led by Coach Chilli and professional footballer Cristian Montaño, combining high-level technical coaching with a strong focus from Cristian on the mindset, standards and mentality required to develop as a player.

Expect players to be challenged. 🔥

⚡ High intensity & high tempo
⚽ Technical development under pressure
🧠 Decision making
💪 Mindset & mentality
🔥 High standards and expectations

And importantly, the trial works both ways.

It gives your player the chance to experience Player Pods and decide whether they enjoy the intensity and challenge — while giving Chilli and Cristian the opportunity to assess whether they're currently at the right level for the group.

These aren't beginner sessions. Players should already be confident footballers, playing at intermediate or advanced team level and ready to work.

🎟️ Individual Trial Session — £12

Think they're ready?

📩 DM us your player's year of birth or the year they play — e.g. 2017 — and we'll send you the appropriate trial options. ⚽🔥

Every Journey is different in Football.

The reason for the pictures is the story attached to WLFA.

Across these pictures there is players playing football in Pro Clubs and Semi Professional teams.

The journey for every player has been different. The main thing is they have continued to play and chased a dream.

Some players have been 1 to 1 Clients, Attended Friday Development Pods, Community Classes or Group Sessions. Across all these sessions players attended as they seen value provided by WLFA Coaches.

September will see our players work on passing quality. Players will be encouraged to play forward passes to progress up the park. This will show players risk = reward. Go play on the front foot moving the ball forward and move teammates into advanced areas. 📈⚽️

⚽ THIS OCTOBER, WE’RE DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

After a brilliant summer, we’re trying a completely new camp format for the October holidays — and we’re really excited about this one.

Instead of one large holiday camp, we’re creating three small Player Development groups, designed specifically around the age, stage and format of football players are currently playing.

Just 12 players per group.
Two WLFA lead coaches.
Maximum 6:1 player-to-coach ratio.

This allows us to give players more touches, more individual coaching and more meaningful feedback, while delivering sessions that are genuinely relevant to the game they’re playing every weekend.

2018s & 2019s | 9am–11am
4v4 & 5v5 development

2016s & 2017s | 12pm–2pm
7v7 development

2014s & 2015s | 2pm–4pm
9v9 & 11v11 development

Across the four days, each group will progress through a structured programme covering technical development, combination play, attacking & finishing and game understanding.

And we’re adding something else new…

Every player will receive an individual coach report through their Player Portal profile following the camp, giving them feedback on their development and areas to keep working on.

📅 Monday 19th – Thursday 22nd October
📍 Bannatyne Health Club, Livingston
⚽ 8 hours of focused coaching
👥 For players currently playing team football

EARLY BIRD: £80

Regular price £100.

Early Bird places are limited and available until 20th September OR until our Early Bird allocation sells out — whichever comes first.

There are only 12 places available in each group, so this camp really is limited.

👇 Booking links for all three age groups are in the comments.

Small groups. Age & stage specific. Serious player development. 💚⚽
