We Make Footballers have been running for the past 10 years. Having had great success in London, We Make Footballers have now become a football franchise coaching over 4,000 children every week across over 46 venues.

Our mission is to provide best-in-class professional football coaching for boys and girls of all abilities. Our unique coaching methodology, common sense, and passion for football enable us to create the perfect environment for a child to learn and develop in the Ham area. Through our network, we provide pathways for our players to join professional academies and local grassroots clubs. We’re making football.

WMF Ham Academy was set up in 2016 by Ryan Mitchell who is a primary school teacher, has physical education and sports degree, has played semi-pro football, and has been through all levels at WMF starting from volunteer to franchise owner. As per all WMF academy managers, they believe in the We Make Footballers mission and strive to help players of all abilities become the best they can be!
