Learn Through Play – More Than Just Football

BabyBallers franchise stands out in the crowded children’s franchise sector by putting education and enjoyment first. While football is the foundation, sessions also support a wide range of developmental goals, including:

• Confidence building
• Motor skills and coordination
• Social skills and teamwork
• Colour, number, and shape recognition

With three tailored class formats (Baby Ballers: 16 months–2.5 years, Mini Ballers: 2.5–3.5 years, Ballers: 3.5–5 years), the programme grows with each child and prepares them for their journey into school and beyond.

According to Sport England’s Active Lives survey, only 47% of children in England meet the recommended levels of physical activity — highlighting the growing need for structured, engaging programmes like the BabyBallers franchise (source).

A Flexible Business with Real Demand

Most BabyBallers franchise clubs are full before their first ball is even kicked. With sessions running in local sports halls for 35 minutes and delivered back-to-back, the model is designed to maximise attendance and revenue.

From just one club operating once a week, franchisees can achieve a net profit of around £1,000 per month from the start. Operating at 80% capacity, franchisees typically earn £9,000–£10,000 profit annually in Year 1—and many grow quickly from there by opening multiple clubs or expanding to new territories.

The franchise fee is just £5,995 + VAT, making the BabyBallers franchise a low-cost entry into a proven, scalable business.
