ABOUT BEYOND THE GAME
Beyond The Game is a football coaching organisation making football available to all young people with specialisation in SEN participation. Located in Failsworth, Greater Manchester, we are dedicated to providing tailored small group football coaching for junior players who may struggle with the pressure of joining a mainstream football club, focusing on individualized outcomes to maximize each player's confidence as well as ability. Our mission is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive and develop a passion for the game. With a strong emphasis on personalized attention and skill development, we aim to set new standards for SEN junior football coaching.

WHAT WE OFFER
At Beyond the Game, every group session is carefully tailored to suit the individual needs of the children involved. Group sizes will never exceed 6, therefore each child will receive personalised development. Our aim is to create a safe, inclusive environment where children of all abilities and backgrounds can grow in confidence, develop their football skills, and most importantly, have fun.
DEVELOPMENT PLANS (all included)
At no extra cost, each child's progress will be guided against the following criteria:
​
- Attention & Focus
- Effort
- Confidence
- Communication
- Social Interaction
- Emotional Regulation
​
Each month, parents will receive feedback via a structured report on their child's progress, This level of analysis allows us to ensure we can spot areas for extra support and recognise where children are performing well.
​
These 6 metrics are some of the most crucial in young peoples development, particularly those with additional needs.
