“My 2 children have been attending Excel Coaching for a good few months and they really enjoy it. Matt, Alan and Sam are all very good coaches — they really take an interest in the kids. The training is always fun and engaging, and even though mine are different ages, they mix the sessions well. I’d recommend Excel to anyone.”

07 Good questions

Things Telford parents ask.

Where are your football sessions in Telford?

Our current sessions run at Broadoaks in Donnington (Fridays & Saturdays) and Donnington Skate Park (Excel Minis on Mondays), with more locations across Telford coming soon.

What ages do you coach?

We coach children from 3 to 16. Excel Minis is for ages 3–5, our weekly sessions for 5–12, and our development and performance pathways for older, keener players.

My child has never played football — is that OK?

Absolutely. Many of our players start as complete beginners. Every session is split by age and ability, so your child is always with others at their level.

How much does it cost?

Excel Minis is £20/month and our weekly sessions are £25/month, with no joining fee and no long contract. Your first taster session is completely free.

Are your coaches qualified and DBS-checked?

Yes — our coaches are FA-qualified, enhanced-DBS checked, safeguarding and first-aid trained, and we’re fully insured.
