Mini Ballers Children's Football Development Franchise
Turn your passion for football and child development into a thriving business.
Founded by former England and Spurs player Ben Bowditch, Mini Ballers has already welcomed thousands of children onto the pitch. Now, we are looking for the right people to join our growing network and bring Mini Ballers to their local community.
Franchise with Mini Ballers and build your own children's football business in the UK — built around a high-energy programme designed for children aged 18 months to 5.5 years. Through imaginative, play-based sessions, we introduce the beautiful game in a way that's fun, inclusive and developmentally focused.
Is your area still available?
We are expanding carefully across the UK and selecting the right franchise partners to represent the Mini Ballers brand in their area. Most territories are still open - but once a location is secured, it's removed from availability for good.
The territories below have already been reserved. Now is the best time to choose a high-potential area while selection is at its widest.

Once a territory is reserved it cannot be split or reassigned.
Why Mini Ballers?
Mini Ballers is a proven children's football programme designed for ages 18 months to 5.5 years. Every session is built to help children develop confidence, coordination and social skills — through fun, structured football that genuinely engages them at every stage of their development.
Created with passion and purpose, the Mini Ballers programme gives franchise partners the opportunity to run a business they can be truly proud of, while building recurring income in one of the fastest-growing sectors in children's activity.

A proven business model built for growth
Mini Ballers is designed from the ground up to be a sustainable, rewarding business. Here's why the model works.
Monthly membership income
Parents pay recurring monthly memberships, giving you predictable, reliable revenue month after month - not a one-off transaction model.
Strong customer retention
Children thrive on routine, progress and friendships. Families stay longer, return each term and naturally refer others in their community.
Low overhead model
No expensive premises or heavy staffing costs. You operate from existing local venues, keeping setup costs low and margins healthy from the start.
Growing parent demand
Parents continue to invest in activities that build confidence, fitness and life skills from an early age. The demand for quality, structured children's sport is only increasing.
Rewarding community impact
You will build a business that genuinely matters — one that helps children in your local area grow, develop and fall in love with football.
Scalable opportunity
Start with one venue and grow at your own pace - adding classes, locations and coaches over time as your Mini Ballers franchise expands.
