Layton academy is for players of all abilities aged between 4 and 7 year old. Our aim is to make this fun and non competive, where young children can learn as a team the skills of football and keep fit at the same time. Our aim is to recruit 50 children to come on a saturday morning 10.am to 12 noon. All our coaches are CRB checked and most our FA level 1 qualified.

Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
