When Simon Walker went looking for something his son could get involved with to get rid of some of his excess energy, he did not realise he would soon be setting up a business. He could find nothing suitable until he heard about Little Kickers, which is very popular down in the south and getting that way in the north.
Simon, who lives in Whitnash, visited a few classes and thought it would be a great idea to start this up in Warwickshire. So about six months ago he bought into the Little Kickers franchise, joining 50+ franchisees running over 300 classes a week in the UK, teaching football skills to children aged 18 months to 5th Birthday.
Simon said: “My business is called Little Kickers South Warwickshire (01926 422589, swalker@littlekickers.co.uk) and covers Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth, Stratford and the surrounding areas. I started classes a few months ago and they are going extremely well. I started with two classes on Saturday mornings at Whitnash Community Hall and I am having to increase this to three classes already as interest has been very good. I am also opening two new classes at St Marks Church Hall on Monday afternoons".
“At Little Kickers, the focus is very much on fun - informal yet professionally run and well structured football based activity classes for boys and girls, with bespoke and age appropriate equipment. 
“The goal of Little Kickers, is to use football as a fun forum to instill children with a little extra confidence, co-ordination, control and sense of camaraderie. The course content has been developed and continually improved by FA qualified coaches and nursery schoolteachers, with ongoing input from child health specialists. Little Kickers introduces real football skills through exciting group play activities. Valuable concepts such as sharing, taking turns, teamwork and listening are incorporated in the activities. The classes enable children to develop agility, co-ordination and balance and early learning concepts such as colours and numbers are gently introduced through football at a very young age. This is also great exercise for children to burn off their excess energy.”
The children attending classes at Little Kickers South Warwickshire are split into two finely tailored age categories, Junior Kickers is for 2 year olds to 3 and half year olds, then Mighty Kickers is for 3 and half years olds up to their 5th birthday. Any coach that works for Little Kickers has to be CRB checked. Classes are not term time only - they are booked in blocks of either 6 or 12 weeks all year round.
