6–9 Years
Foundation Programme
Our UD Foundation programme focuses on developing all children through a player-centred, holistic style of coaching where each individual is afforded the opportunity to learn and develop in their own time.
Stepping up
Each session follows a detailed scheme of work whereby all the technical, tactical, physical and emotional elements of football are factored in.
Through midweek and weekend sessions, we aim to fully prepare our players to compete in league games, if they wish to make the step into the competitive world of football.
“United Dragons is a phenomenal organization run by a passionate, energetic, and dedicated coaching staff. Our kids absolutely love it and look forward to every practice and match. Highly recommend!”

The pathway to competitive football
Through midweek and weekend sessions, we aim to fully prepare our players to compete in league games, if they wish to make the step into the competitive world of football.
There is no pressure to compete — the Foundation programme is designed to meet every player exactly where they are.
Developing the whole player
Beyond technique, we focus on character, resilience and a genuine love of the game.
We want every Foundation player to leave each session having improved, and already looking forward to the next one.
