Frequently asked by Mill Hill parents
Is there a Constantine Academy venue in Mill Hill itself?
Not currently — our nearest venue is Colindale, a short drive from most of Mill Hill.
What age groups can join from Mill Hill?
We coach boys and girls from U7 through to U16, grouped by age and ability.
Can we try a session before committing?
Yes — every new player gets one FREE TASTER SESSION, with no obligation to continue.
Which venue suits Mill Hill families best?
Colindale, usually. It's the closer of the two and the Wednesday session tends to work well around school nights.
What a session looks like
Every session follows the same structure. It sounds obvious, but children relax far quicker when the shape of the evening is familiar.
The first fifteen minutes are a warm-up with a ball at their feet — no standing around waiting for something to start. The next half hour is technical work on one thing: first touch, passing, finishing, one-v-one. Then small-sided games where that skill has to hold up under pressure, and a proper match to finish.
Before they leave, every child hears one thing they did well and one thing to work on. It takes thirty seconds and it's the part they remember on the drive home.
Parents are welcome to stay and watch. Most Mill Hill families do for the first few weeks, and we'd rather you did.
Starting out in Mill Hill
If your child isn't playing anywhere yet, Mill Hill Park and Arrandene Open Space are good places to start — free, open, and no pressure. A lot of what makes a young footballer is built in exactly that kind of unstructured play.
The point at which a club starts to help is when they begin asking questions you can't answer. Why does the ball keep going over the bar? How do I get past someone quicker than me? That's when they need repetition, structure, and someone watching properly. It tends to come once they've played enough to notice what they can't yet do.
Mill Hill sits close enough to our Colindale venue that most families are there in under fifteen minutes.
What it costs, and what's included
Fees depend on how many sessions your child attends, and there's a discount for families with more than one child at the club. We also hold places for families facing financial difficulty — ask, and it stays between us.
All coaching equipment, balls and bibs are provided. Your child needs boots or trainers, shin pads and a water bottle, and nothing else. There's no club kit to buy before they start.
The first session is free, and there's no obligation after it.
