Reviews
The coaches are very invested in caring for the children, my one was very shy in the beginning but the coaches really have a great way of helping her overcome this and join in to have fun!
The class is one of the highlights of our week! I find it amazing how each week there is something new that is being taught in a really fun way. My little one can’t wait to get on his football kit every Saturday and loves his coach!
Our Little Kickers group is fantastic. Each week the coaches make it so warm and inviting. It’s not just my boy but all the children just have such a nice time. This is our third year going and I can truly see the difference these classes have made. Thank you!
We’ve tried a few activities and this is by far the best. There just seems to be a perfect balance between learning and fun.
The sessions at Ware are just fantastic. Really well run and as a parent I’ve made some really good friends with other parents too – something I was not expecting – my daughter just loves it.
Coach Sunny just brings so much energy to the sessions. The kids absolutely love him and stay engaged the whole time and even tidy up too as part of the games!
