thank you for watching hey coach welcome back to the channel okay so today I'm going to be talking about the top five UK regions to open a football academy business now if you've been following our channel for a while then you will know that if you scroll back I I created a video this was a few months back about the top eight cities in the United States to open a football academy business so as most of you know we work with football trainers in general we work with sports trainers but I I focus myself more on on the football industry and we myself I speak to the coaches every single day from all parts of the world so I created that video mainly for football trainers that are out in the in the United States football soccer trainers that are in the United States to give them a bit of an insight into the biggest upcoming cities that I feel that soccer is going to really take off now after a lot of questions I've now decided to create this small presentation on the top five UK regions to open a football academy business now post COVID the football training industry in the UK is exploding like it's getting bigger and bigger there's more and more trainers that are starting one-to-one businesses a group training football academies now summer shifting towards opening private football clubs as well so they're training academies got done really good there's loads of demand now and now they're shifting towards opening and clubs so it's a real hot spot at the moment for youth football I mean to be honest with you it all it always has been right the UK has been a hotbed for for youth football and football in general and but something that I've been seeing is that after COVID this industry has got bigger and bigger and more and more parents are looking to invest in private trainers so hopefully this video helps you okay I'm gonna break down the five top top five UK regions that I feel at the moment are why hot at the moment they're big on private training and these are regions that when I speak to coaches and football trainers most of them are in these regions and also I've interviewed coaches as well okay so I hope you enjoy the video and if you need any questions visit description below you'll be able to get in contact with me so we're gonna start off with region number five so the way I've broken down this presentation is that I'm looking at the amount of grassroots football leagues in a region I'm also looking at how many power league football centres are in that region and goals football centres okay and also in terms of the biggest city in population so the reason why I'm going to be looking at power league and goals is not longer ago I did speak with a couple of people that are quite high up in those companies and they gave me a really great insight into how they strategically open football centres across the UK and something that they mentioned was that they look at markets where youth football is quite big and where football participation is big so I've grabbed this data and that's why I'm going to present it today and based on the information that they gave me and based on a little bit of research I've done in the UK right this is why I've came up with these fire top five regions to open a football academy business okay so if we take Scotland West for example okay so that this is number five this region's got four junior grassroots football leagues it currently has two power league football centres there are plans to open more two goals football centres as well and the biggest city in this region is Glasgow region that is heavily populated in population and also participation levels are very high amongst among kids so a lot of kids in this region are playing football and if you're a coach and you live in this region then it's a fantastic place to look to open a football academy business today or in the near future okay so that's five now number four is the Yorkshire and Humber region in England so if we have a look at the information that I've gathered we've got in this region we've got 22 junior grassroots leagues currently two power league football centres across this region and four goals football centres okay now the biggest city in this region is Leeds most of you will know the biggest club that have come out this this city is Leeds United and I believe it's the only city in the UK that currently only has one big professional football club okay I've spoken to a lot of coaches that operate their business from this region and they tell me it's a fantastic place at the moment and there's more and more kids getting into football and also there's more astroturf or 3G pitches being built around the region to try and get clubs to to use them and to get more kids involved in football so great region and that is why it's number four on my list so if we look at the next one which is number three this is the West Midlands in England okay so if we have a look at 21 junior grassroots leagues now this information when I talk about junior grassroots leagues there may be more that I'm missing out but I've gathered this information from the local football association in this region so for the stats I've got is that within these regions that I'm looking at I've gone on to the football association website I've also spoken to a couple of people in those FA positions and this is the information that they have provided to me so this could change from now until when you watch it but at the moment 21 junior grassroots football leagues in this in the West Midlands region you've got two power league football centres at the moment operating and seven goals football centres in this region as well so if we have a look in total you've got nine football centres that are in this region and if there are football centres in these regions means there's a lot of demand for football okay it's a very populated region as well and we've got the biggest city being Birmingham okay which also has two professional football clubs first one is well the main one which is the one that's doing really well at the moment is Aston Villa and then we've got Birmingham City that play in the championship okay now when I say main one I know if you're a Birmingham City fan you're going to be saying to me Leo but you know why are you saying Aston Villa is the main one okay I'm just saying because they're in the Premier League right Birmingham City again big club and huge support very popular but Aston Villa and Birmingham from Birmingham are the two biggest football clubs in this region okay if we move on to the second one okay is the northwest of England the northwest region this is a region that's really hot at the moment for youth football okay to be honest with you it always has been but it is getting more and more popular a lot of coaches that I'm currently speaking to actually are based in this region that are looking to either start or they have already a football training business so northwest includes cities like Liverpool Manchester to name a few okay and if we look huge participation level in this region we've got 39 junior grass roots football leagues a massive power league are very big in this region eight power league football centres we've also got four goals football centres as well and there's a couple as well indoor football venues in this area such as pro football arena and a couple more that I can't remember the names on top of my head but I have come across them doing my research okay so big hub for football at the moment big hub for grass roots football and youth football so if you're a coach in this region and you're looking or you're thinking to start up a football academy a hundred percent would recommend it okay really big at the moment as you can see biggest city Manchester Manchester two biggest clubs from that area we've got Manchester City and Manchester United obviously but then you've got the area of Liverpool which is you've got Liverpool and Everton football club as well but also you've got greater Manchester there's loads of football clubs within that region and areas around Liverpool as well that have a lot of professional football clubs as well so really really big hotbed for football in the UK right now number one is the southeast of England now this is probably one of the most populated regions in the entire UK and that's probably mainly because that is where London is based and London is the biggest city in the UK with the highest population but if we have a look okay the southeast is not just made up of London but areas and regions across the outside of London as well but if we have a look we've got 53 junior grass roots leagues across this region massive and there's going to be more and more every year as the population gets bigger as more demand for grass roots football it gets bigger and we've got 12 power league football centres that's like almost double in some of the regions that we've looked at and 16 goals football centres across the south southeast of England as well okay again double the numbers of some most of the regions that we've looked at and then if you if you have a look the biggest city is London and London has not just the population of over 9 million people but it's got a lot of professional football clubs also has a lot of semi-professional football clubs and it's again another really big hotbed for for football for youth football and a fantastic place if you're looking to build and grow and or even start a football academy business alongside the northwest I feel that the southeast of England the northwest they're always kind of in competition with each other in terms of youth football for the UK okay so hopefully this presentation I hope has been insightful it's something that I've been meaning to do for a while it's more just educational but if you are a coach and you're in any of the regions that
