Striker Academy Soccer Schools in Warrington has grown as a specialist training academy that helps children aged 3 to 12 years old learn the wonderful art of goal scoring and how to be a striker.

But Striker Academy has come from humble beginnings to become one of the Northwest’s most sought after soccer school. It all started when Imtiaz’s (Coach Ij’s) son, Dean, wanted some extra training away from his local club so he could get better.
Imtiaz realised this was a great opportunity to block out some quality time and spend it with Dean playing football. But as things panned out Dean’s friends wanted to come along too!
A few years later we now run classes for 3 to 5 year olds called Mini Strikers and for 6 to 12 year olds called The Academy, catering for beginners, intermediate and elite players.
The popularity of Striker Academy has stretched far beyond the shores of Warrington with players accessing our exclusive coaching from as far a field as Yorkshire and North Wales.
Our roots are firmly planted in being a professional coaching academy with family values. When you become a part of the Striker Academy team you become a member of an ever growing family that has your child’s developmental needs at heart. And that’s what makes Striker Academy stand out from every other football provider in Warrington and the North West.
Striker Academy is based in Great Sankey & Penketh in Warrington, close by junction 8 off the M62 (IKEA exit). We live in Warrington, train and employ local talent and are proud to serve and re-invest in the local community.
We love giving!
Every year we help local schools raise much needed money to provide more books and better equipment to help local children get the education they deserve. We do this by taking our special Targetizer target goal to school fundraising events for free.
In 2011 we gave away £194.00 worth of prizes at Barrowhall Lane Primary and St. Vincent’s Primary School barbeques whilst helping raise over £100. And we’re always looking for more opportunties to help raise money for good causes so feel free to suggest one!
