Which age groups is our Bern football school suitable for?

We work with children and young people from six to eighteen years old. For each age phase, there is a different focus in terms of content.

Six to nine years: Fun and fundamentals

In this age phase, the primary focus is on enjoying the ball and gaining movement experience. Children playfully learn to master simple movement patterns. Ball control, dribbling, a first shot. All with great positivity and without pressure to perform.

Ten to thirteen years: Consolidate technical basics

The golden learning age. Technical skills can now be acquired particularly quickly. Children develop first preferences, perhaps already play for a Bernese club, and realize they want more. We help them to consolidate their technical foundation and understand initial tactical ideas.

Fourteen to eighteen years: Targeted development

This is the phase where it is decided who makes the leap into performance teams or even an academy and who doesn't. Here we work very specifically on the things that make the difference. Speed of decision-making, mental strength, athletic fundamentals, and techniques required at a higher level.

Training locations in Bern and surroundings

We use various sports facilities in Bern and the surrounding Bernese area. Whether it's the city of Bern, Köniz, Ostermundigen, Worb, or Thun, depending on your child's place of residence, we will find a place that is easily accessible for you. We will coordinate the specific locations after the initial consultation.

What children and parents report after a few weeks

Arrange a free initial consultation now

The feedback after the first training sessions shows a clear pattern. The children come home enthusiastic and want to train again immediately. Parents report that their children seem more satisfied and confident after the sessions than after regular club training.

A little later, after four to six weeks, we see initial measurable progress. The children appear more coordinated with the ball, their ball control and receiving become cleaner, and decisions on the field come faster. Club coaches often notice that a child suddenly plays differently, without being able to pinpoint exactly why.

After three months of regular training, the difference is visible to everyone. In selections and tryouts, our children demonstrably have higher success rates because they are better prepared than children who only participate in club training.

What parents ask us most frequently

Does my child need prior experience to start with you?

No. We work with children of all levels. Some of our children already play in a Bernese club, while others have never trained regularly. The deciding factor is not the initial level, but the joy of the game and the willingness to work with us regularly.

How often should my child attend additional sessions with you?

For most children who already play in a club, one additional session per week is ideal. This offers enough extra development without overworking the child. Ambitious teenagers train with us up to twice a week.

What does a training session at your football school cost?

Individual training starts at CHF 100 per session with us. Small group training is cheaper per person. We offer discounts for packages and siblings. You can find all details about prices and content on our Personal Training page.

How does the initial consultation work?

The initial consultation usually takes place by phone or video and lasts about twenty minutes. We get to know you and your child, discuss the current situation, goals, and explain how we work. At the end, you will have a clear assessment and a concrete proposal. You can then decide at your leisure whether to start.

Can I interrupt the training?

Yes. We work without long-term contracts. If training needs to be paused due to holidays, school, or an injury, this can be done at any time. Our collaboration is based on trust, not compulsion.
