Parent Support Programme

Football environments can be exciting, demanding, and at times overwhelming for families.

Our Parent Support Programme provides structured, practical guidance to help parents confidently support their child while maintaining balance, boundaries, and wellbeing.

Programmes can be delivered online via Microsoft Teams or in person at club facilities.

Before any programme begins, we take time to understand the club environment.

This includes:

• Listening to leadership priorities and safeguarding objectives
• Understanding existing education and welfare programmes
• Learning about coaching philosophy and communication styles
• Identifying specific challenges within the parent group
• Aligning delivery with club culture and long-term development goals

This ensures every programme is tailored, not generic, and works efficiently alongside the structures already in place.

We aim to complement, not duplicate, the excellent work clubs are already doing.

Each session is interactive, practical, and designed to provide both understanding and actionable strategies.

Session Topics Include:

• Understanding the Academy & Professional Environment
• Supporting Without Overstepping
• Wellbeing, Confidence & Identity
• Education & Dual Career Pathways
• Managing Transitions (Signing, Loans, Release)
• Open Forum & Action Planning

• Weekly sessions (60–75 minutes)
• In-person or online delivery
• Practical guidance and downloadable resources
• Final follow-up session included
• Opportunity for Q&A
• Continued signposting and support

We do not disappear once the sessions end. Follow-up and continued clarity are built into every programme.

Parents can book independently and join small, supportive group sessions delivered live via Microsoft Teams.

Delivered exclusively for academy or professional clubs.

Programmes can be run:
• In-house at club facilities
• Online via Teams
• As a one-off workshop
• Or as a structured 4–6 week series

Content is tailored to align with club culture, safeguarding priorities, and performance objectives.
