Peter Olowe and Shandan Stuart-Best
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.
The Thurrock WMF Academy was set up in 2022 by Peter Olowe and Shandan Stuart-Best who are passionate about contributing to the betterment and opportunities for young people in our community. We aim to provide the best football coaching service to increase our young people playing football at the highest level.
Why do Children & Parents in Thurrock Love our Training?
Improved football technique
We break down the football fundamentals in a simple and engaging way. Then, our 1-on-1 drills give your child the time to reinforce what they've learnt at their own pace.
Teammates to mates
We only have 10 children per coach to ensure high quality training and the chance for your child to build friendships. We also have strict anti-bullying policies so they will always feel safe.
Healthy children are happier children
Exercise is best when it doesn't feel like exercise. Our weekly football training and holiday development camps are fun, but also boost your child's fitness, speed, movement, and agility too.
A real brain booster (that's smart!)
It's not just physical and social skills, our unique sessions help with cognitive function too. You will see your child develop better concentration, learning, listening, and decision-making skills week after week.

We Make Footballers is fantastic. Our daughter has enjoyed many hours of football training on Saturday mornings and in the holidays. What a great way to motivate kids with sport, teach them to win, to lose, to support others and to strive to be the best they can.

Frequently asked questions
Are you looking for a football training academy to partner with?
How it works: We provide players and teams for local grassroot teams to compete at a competitive grassroots level. The partnered club recommend WMF to players who aren’t quite ready to play at a grassroots level side (players may be too young or new to football).
What safety procedures are in place and are your coaches DBS checked?
All of our coaches are fully DBS checked and at least one member of staff on site will be first aid trained.
How do I get my child in shape for football?
Eating healthily, drinking lots of water and training often will help assist your child with their football development.
