Dragon Academy delivers after-school football clubs and in-curriculum PE football support for primary schools across South Wales. Sessions are led by UEFA B licensed coaches and are split into three age-appropriate pathways: Mini Dragons (ages 2–4), Junior Dragons (ages 5–7) and Advanced Dragons (ages 8–13).

We work with schools on after-school clubs, lunchtime sessions and curriculum PE support. Every hour follows the same four-part structure: ball at their feet within 30 seconds of walking in, a clear weekly theme explained in language they understand, progressive coaching with individual correction, then small-sided games so the skill actually shows up. No standing around. No wasted minutes.

Age groups
Mini Dragons (2–4): their first proper football hour. Structured enough to build real coordination, playful enough that they never notice they are learning.
Junior Dragons (5–7): dribbling, passing and decision-making taught properly, then tested in games they actually want to win.
Advanced Dragons (8–13): technical detail, game understanding and a competitive standard for players who want to get better.
