Official grassroots football training programme for kids of all ages

The UKCFDS Franchise

With over 25 years’ global experience helping coaches, just like you, to run their own businesses, UKCFDS is arguably the world’s most successful grassroots coaching franchise. Learn how you can train and run your business with the best and achieve an annual turnover of £200k+.

What is the UKCFDS franchise?

A franchise is an easier way to start your own business.

With our franchise, you licence the rights to operate Brazilian Soccer Schools and SOCATOTS classes in a geographical territory.

You ‘own’ your territory and have exclusive rights to run Brazilian Soccer Schools and SOCATOTS classes there.

As part of the deal, we provide you with what you need to run a successful coaching business: our full training programme, materials, equipment, training for you, business support and more.

Licencing a UKCFDS franchise is one of the best – and fastest – ways to start a successful business because you benefit from the many decades of experience, support and guidance we can offer.

Ultimately, our aim is to help you build a successful business faster.

Support We Give Our Fanchisees

Your success is our success.

That’s why we invest so much in helping our franchisees develop successful businesses.

From our online training portal to our International Training Weeks, when you join UKCFDS you’re given the support you need.

That being said, you shouldn’t underestimate the hard work needed to make your business a success.

Running a successful business takes time and effort and on top of that, you could be training over 1000 kids each week!

But the rewards are huge and our most successful franchisees know that when you put in the effort you reap the rewards.

The Successful Coach

We don’t just licence our franchises to anyone.

Our success is measured by the success of our coaches and so we are selective when it comes to who we work with.

We look for people with the following qualities:

  • A passion for working with children every day, and having a large part to play in their ongoing development
  • Principles of coach development that match our own philosophies of how children should be educated and developed
  • A thirst for hard work
  • A willingness to follow the operations procedure that is recommended by us, and based upon previous success
  • Experience of building and managing customer relationships

Running a successful franchise is not easy, but the rewards for getting it right can be huge.

We will give you the tools and support you need to run our franchise successfully, but you must be willing to put in the hard work to deliver the results.

UKCFDS Brochure
Socatots Logo

SOCATOTS is the leading football-related physical development programme for young children aged between six months and five years.

It offers a unique approach designed around systematic training sessions involving parents’ active participation.

SOCATOTS presents a complete programme full of popular, fun and engaging activities for children and their parents.

Brazilian Soccer Schools

BRAZILIAN SOCCER SCHOOLS is the grassroots football organisation with a worldwide network of coaches that has the unified objective of providing a unique but structured football education to children from the ages of 5-18.

This is achieved through a specifically designed syllabus of 200+ individual core movements and skills, which are taught and evaluated using our proprietary method of assessment the Skills Badge Scheme.

Futebol de Salão allows the core moves and skills taught and assessed in sessions to be integrated into the insanely fast, tightly compressed & highly pressurized environment of 5 a side football.
