“The management clearly have a vision that is child centric and genuinely want to coach children in the manner that I have thought is more appropriate and relevant for many years.”
NEIL, WMF CHESHIRE
In 2006, Sean Conlon started his own football coaching business alongside building teams for local grassroots clubs and signing players to professional clubs. These player pathways started the process of “making footballers”. Within a year, over 100 players were attending and it shortly became the largest football coaching business in London, whilst building links with professional clubs and attracting some of the best coaches.
We provide a “real” football experience for children aged 4-12 which as been created over the years by a collection of Chelsea Academy Coaches, Grassroots Coaches, Professional Football Scouts and Successful Digital Marketeers. Over the past 12 years, We Make Footballers has grown to become one of the leading football franchises in the UK, and one of the only coaching franchises to develop players aged 4-12 years old.
After seeing the success in the flagship franchise in West London, in 2009, Sean teamed up with his brother Joseph who had his own Digital Marketing Agency. Together, they started building a brand which attracted footballers such as Jamie Redknapp, Nicolas Anelka, Didier Drogba and Florent Malouda to bring their children to the company.
At this stage, Sean saw how We Make Footballers could help developing players and coaches across the UK to improve the football experience for all. Professional advisors saw potential in doing this by becoming a franchising business. Their investment and consultancy enabled the company to build a Head Office, online software and infrastructure to grow.
We now have more than 2000 children attending our weekly training across over 20 venues.
WMF currently have 18 successful franchises in operation and are meeting all of our business objectives set out in 2015.
We Make Footballers aim to have 300 franchises in operation by 2025 and then expand all over the world.
