This is a programme designed to develop an individual’s core technique needed to play the game. The content delivered across the programme allows the player to develop their ball mastery and ball manipulation skills in a fun safe environment. This is the entry level of the football pyramid at MK Dons with the opportunity for stand out players to progress through our pathway into Skills Elite.

Our holiday courses provide the opportunity for 4-14 year olds to take part in football activities across the school holidays. They provide a fun, safe environment to take part in physical activity and develop their football skills. Each day consists of themed activities, challenges and fun games to keep each child engaged. This is a great environment for both boys and girls to make new friends and develop their confidence.

Skills Elite is a Community programme focused on working with players who play grass roots football at any level. This programme is the next step up from our Skills Centres. This programme has been designed to provide an education into how a player develops their understanding of the game. Delivered through game based activities players will learn a greater appreciation of roles and responsibilities on the football pitch as well as fundamental principles of play. During the school holidays participants will have the opportunity to take part in fixtures against other clubs.
