Developing young footballers with skill, confidence and character.
Providing fun, structured and high-quality football coaching for children of all ability levels.
Stepping Stone Sports Academy was founded by brothers Waqqash Mowlana and Sakkaf Mowlana, who together bring over 15 years of coaching experience in youth football.
The academy focuses on developing not only football skills, but also confidence, discipline, character and a love for the game.
Our coaching goes beyond football technique. Through the 6C Development Model, we help children develop Confidence, Competence, Connections, Character, Caring behaviour and Contribution.
We believe football is a powerful tool for shaping confident, disciplined and resilient young people.
Structured, high-quality coaching designed to help every child develop their technical ability and progress at their own pace.
A welcoming environment where children can build friendships, confidence, discipline and resilience.
Football training focused on teamwork, positive behaviour, leadership and personal growth, both on and off the pitch.
Our sessions take place indoors in the sports hall, providing a safe and comfortable environment for football training throughout the year.
Ideal for younger players developing confidence, football fundamentals and enjoyment of the game.
Focused on skill progression, teamwork, discipline and deeper football understanding.
Limited parking is available within the school premises, with free nearby off-street parking from 18:30 onwards.
We offer a free first session so your child can experience the training, meet the coaches and see whether Stepping Stone Sports Academy is the right fit, with no commitment.
Includes four weekly training sessions, normally one session per week, supporting consistent coaching and development.
Our mission is to combine high-quality football coaching with positive youth development, helping children build the skills, confidence, respect and resilience they need on and off the pitch.
We keep groups small to ensure every child receives the support and coaching they need.
