Join our truly unique football coaching franchise

The Football Fun Factory was created to provide incredible childhood football experiences for boys and girls of all ages and ability levels, eliminating barriers to opportunity. We use the nation’s passion for football as a vehicle for child development, delivering truly unique experiences to make memories that last a lifetime.

We provide weekly training programmes, school holiday courses, birthday parties and events.

After an incredible period of growth over the past 12 months, our goal is very clear; we are aiming to become the world's leading children's football coaching organisation.

With such a huge ambition, it is clear to us that to achieve our aim, we will need to recruit the best possible team of superstar Head Coaches. We are on a nationwide talent search to find the UK's most passionate and enthusiastic coaches to join our team.

Professional footballers choose us!

Former Manchester United Winger Luke Chadwick is Head of Partnerships and Community Growth at Football Fun Factory.

In his first year at the Football Fun Factory, hundreds of children benefited from Luke’s coaching; he is undoubtedly a fantastic role model for children. In his new role Luke is responsible for recruiting the best possible superstar coaches to join the FFF team and working with businesses and organisations to form effective partnerships.

It’s an incredibly exciting time for the FFF and we are very excited about the impact that Luke will continue to have in his new role. He will of course be coming along to some of the FFF sessions and even doing the odd guest coaching session! 

Luke will meet with all potential franchisees as part of the query process. 

The Role of the Franchisee

A Football Fun Factory Head Coach (franchisee) runs their own football coaching business, positively impacting the lives of hundreds of children in the local community by delivering fun and exciting experiences.

As the Head Coach you will be the main deliverer across all programmes and be present at all sessions, ensuring the highest possible standards of delivery.

You will lead Football Fun & Development sessions for 5-12 years old during the week (usually 3 evenings) and a Tots Football Fun session at the weekend (Saturday or Sunday morning).  

The Franchisee/Head Coach has the capacity to recruit their own assistant coaches and others that they may wish to work for them. 

The Head Coach role is a full-time opportunity but can be set up alongside paid employment for a short period.

Previous coaching experience and experience of working with children is desirable but we are willing to speak to and engage with those who are interested with limited or no experience. 

Franchise investment

The Football Fun Factory has a proven business model that gives you the opportunity to earn £25,000 - £50,000 per year.

We're on a mission to recruit the very best UK coaching talent to join our incredible team. For this reason, we keep the barriers to entry low for the right candidates. Our franchise fee is just £5,000, plus an ongoing management service fee of 15% per month.

The investment entitles you as a franchisee to operate the Football Fun Factory within a defined community (territory). It also secures your inflatable pitch, inflatable goal, football darts inflatable, branded coaching equipment and coaches clothing.
