What's different in the UK
In the UK, advertising is covered by consumer protection law, the ASA and CAP Code and UK GDPR, and customers compare options on Google and review sites. Academies working with children should follow safeguarding rules, including DBS checks for staff.
Parents decide
Parents ask about coaches, safety and progression, so pages should answer those questions.
Retention across seasons
Players who stay for years generate most revenue, so reminders and progress updates matter.
