Brighter futures through sport
OUR GOAL!
What does Bright Boots believe in?
Bright Boots Coaching has been developed by our founder and head coach Daniel Wolfendale who combined their love for sport and teaching young people into a company that encompasses the values he believes in.
Bright Boots Coaching is a youth football coaching company which supports children and young people’s holistic development.
We want to create an opportunity for children to not only become better footballers but improve their social, mental & physical well-being. We develop a variety of skills through the game of football and promote these skills through our 3P’s “Passion, Progress, Play!”.
Contact us today to find out more about what we do and how your child can join our fun football sessions.
