Radical FootballConference
Two days of presentations, practical sessions and real conversations about how children learn and grow through football. Built for coaches who want to go deeper.
What Makes Our Conference Different
On the Pitch
Understanding how children learn only matters if it changes what happens on the grass. These sessions make that connection.
A Community of Coaches
Many coaches sense that something is not quite right but cannot name it and cannot find the people who might help them move forward. This is where they find each other.
International Speakers
Researchers, academy coaches and grassroots practitioners. Keynotes and discussions that challenge what you think you know about how children learn and grow through football.
