Official Soccer Schools

The Nottingham Forest Official Soccer Schools are open to boys and girls aged 6-12 years old and welcomes children of all abilities!
If your child is a regular player, or it’s their first time, we’ll be sure to welcome them and make them feel right at home on the pitch.
Groups are split by age to ensure our participants have the opportunity to play with their friends and in an environment that will challenge them to develop and have fun!
Our Soccer Schools are ran outside at venues across Nottinghamshire so be sure to send your child with appropriate clothing and keep your eye on the weather in case of rain.
If you have any questions, please contact community@nottinghamforest.co.uk
