Established in 2014, York City Football Club Foundation (YCFCF) operates with the vision: to support the local community by providing sport and physical activity; educational; social and healthy lifestyle opportunities, and ensuring that our contributions have a realistic opportunity of making a positive impact.
York City Football Club Foundation works in over 100 schools across York and the wider North Yorkshire, with many schools choosing us to provide after school programmes. Clubs usually take the form of a half or full term block, with coaches offering extra-curriculur football or multi skills activities for the pupils of the school for Key Stage 1 or 2, or the whole school as identified by the school.
York City Football Club Foundation's Holiday Courses are designed for both boys and girls who are enthusiastic about football, aged from 5-13 years. A range of courses are available, suitable for all abilities, from Fun; Advanced & Girls Only across a number of different venues every school holiday.

My Son has been attending these holiday courses for years now and he is always so excited to come back and see his friends that he has made over the years. The courses are always fun and enjoyable and he is always so tired at the end of the day. I can not recommend these courses enough!
The value of these courses is unbelievable for what the children get. The Foundation have excellent venues, the days always sound fun when both my son and daughter come home and the staff are on a different level. They are so Friendly and approachable and the children buzz off seeing the same coaches both at the Holiday Courses and in their school as well.
All YCFC Foundation Coaches are FA qualified in Coaching, Safeguarding and First Aid as well as specialise in coaching young people, are employed for their charisma and ability to inspire future generations through fun, tailored sessions.
All staff hold relevant DBS Checks and have experience in coaching in many different backgrounds so your son and daughter will be guarenteed for a good footballing experience. Our staffing team work in schools throughout the week with some holding teaching experience and also coach our Male and Female Football Pathway sessions during other coaching hours.
York City FC Foundation also holds the relevant Insurances to be able to offer high quality football in safe secure enviroments which gives parents the peace of mind to know that your son or daughter will have a safe and fun time with all the staff team.
York City FC Foundation have been fabulous! Their communication with us as a school has been so good that it has been a pleasure to work with them, They are organised, professional and they care about doing a good job. The children love the club they run and for many it is a highlight of the week for them. Phil, Dan & the team have been a constant and no matter the weather they have a smile on their face and welcome the children to the session. I highly recommend having them work in your school as they come with peace of mind that the club will be well run, fun and leave the children happy and content. We look forward to continuing to work with York City Foundation throughout the year.
