Fulham FC Foundation Soccer Schools are a fun and engaging holiday football programme for boys and girls aged 5–12. Whether your child is brand new to football or already plays regularly, sessions are designed to be inclusive, enjoyable and development-focused. Participants are grouped by age and experience level, helping them build confidence, improve their skills and make new friends in a supportive environment. Each day focuses on a different football theme, combining skill development and match play.
Venue Details
Our Motspur Park Soccer School takes place at Fulham Football Club's world-class Training Ground, home to Fulham FC Men's, Women's and Academy teams.
Sessions take place primarily indoors in the 3G Dome, although there may be occasions when groups are allocated to the outdoor AstroTurf. We are unable to confirm in advance which area your child will use, so please ensure they are prepared for both indoor and outdoor activity.
The playing area is some distance from the sign-in area and toilets. If your child has any accessibility, mobility or additional support needs that may affect their participation, please contact our customer service team so we can plan appropriate support.
Parking Information
The on-site car park is not available for Soccer School drop-off or collection.
Free on-street parking is available on Blakes Avenue and surrounding residential roads. Please be mindful of residents and driveways.
Blue Badge holders and families with specific mobility requirements should notify our customer service team at the time of booking so that access to the on-site car park and designated accessible parking bays can be arranged for drop-off and collection.
Arrival & Collection
Sign-in time: 08:50am–09:05am
Please arrive within this window to ensure a smooth registration process. As the site is managed by a third party, and the playing area is some distance from the sign-in area, arriving outside this window may result in a significant delay in getting your child signed in.
Upon arrival, please head to the gate to the left of reception, where our head coaches will be ready to welcome you.
We recognise that fixed arrival and collection times may be challenging for some families, particularly those balancing work, caring responsibilities or other commitments. If the published times may prevent your child from attending, please speak to the Foundation team about the options available.
What to Bring
Please ensure your child:
• Wears suitable footwear for indoor or outdoor play on 3G (no metal studs) and shin pads.
• Brings a water bottle, packed lunch and snacks for the day (no nuts).
• Wears appropriate clothing for the weather, including a jumper, coat and appropriate warm clothing.
• Has sun cream applied before they are signed in.
If your child is interested in playing as a goalkeeper, they should bring GK gloves with them, as players will need gloves to take part in goal.
Don't have all the equipment?
If purchasing football equipment such as boots, shin pads or GK gloves is a concern, support may be available through the Foundation's kit-borrowing provision, where available.
Travel Information
Motspur Park is accessible by car, train and bus. The area around the venue is well lit and the site is easily accessible from the A3.
The nearest train station is approximately a 10-minute walk from the venue, and there are a number of bus routes serving the area. If you are travelling by public transport, please allow enough time to complete the journey and arrive within the sign-in window.
Sustainability
Fulham FC Foundation is committed to promoting environmental sustainability and therefore politely requests that participants across all our programmes arrive with their own multi-use drinks bottle rather than a single-use bottle.
Supporting Your Child
We want every child to feel welcome, included and able to enjoy their time at Soccer Schools.
If your child has a disability, is neurodivergent, has an additional support need, speaks limited English, or has a language or communication barrier, please share this information when booking. This helps our team understand your child's needs and identify any appropriate support that may help them participate fully.
Where appropriate, you may be invited to complete a Player Passport to help our team understand your child's needs. A visual timetable of the day can also be made available where this would help your child understand what to expect.
Need some additional support?
If cost, equipment, accessibility, travel, timings, language or communication needs may make it difficult for your child to attend, please get in touch with the Fulham FC Foundation team before booking or attending.
We understand that circumstances differ between families and will be happy to discuss what support or options may be available. This could include information about bursaries, access to equipment that can be borrowed, or adjustments to help your child take part.
