Little Kickers

Little Kickers classes have been designed so that the session, although using football, more importantly provides children with a fun, positive introduction to sport and development.  Our classes run most days for boys and girls aged 18 months to 7 years – 18 months to preschool focusing on development through fun rather than a ‘football class and from 5 to 7 years the focus is development of their football skills, but inclusion is an absolute and fun is always the crucial ingredient.
