Reviews
Very inclusive, no session is the same after 3 years of attending. My daughter loves it
The coaches are brilliant, the facilities are great, it is the highlight of my week and definitely one of my son’s.
The coaches are brilliant with the kids and they learn so much. The mini matches at the end of each session is great, especially making them all shake hands at the end, teaching good sportsmanship!
The coaches are very invested in caring for the children, and coaxing the shy oones to join in and to have fun, rather than simply going through the foootball drills.
Coaches are brilliant and really bring out the best in the kids, lots of support and encouragement
The coaches are all really sweet and positive.
The class is well structured and fun. My son is shy and not great at following instructions, but he loves Little Kickers!
It’s a good way to get the little ones to start learning how to play football, how to do little kicks, redirect the ball and follow instructions. My little one has so much fun and is always happy to go to the class!
Our little kickers group is fantastic. The coaches are the best. They’re engaging and help get my daughter involved even when she’s feeling a bit reluctant.
The class is one of the highlights of our week. Each week, the coaches deliver a well planned lesson with patience, enthusiasm and an excellent good understanding of each child’s character and ability.
Great coaches who are friendly and nurturing. We’ve been at little kickers for the past 7 years and both our children loved it. They developed skills and loved the football matches they play.
The team are brilliant they engage and play with the kids, teaching them in an appropriate for age fun way. My little boy loves his football!
It’s fantastic! I am very impressed by the preparation and creativity behind each session. The coaches also have a lovely manner with the little ones: so patient and kind.
My son absolutely loves going to his football class! It’s such a fun way for him to pick up new skills, work on coordination, follow rules, and play with other kids. He looks forward to it every week!
Starting at 18 months old our little boy looks forward to showing off the skills he has learned at ‘football practice’ to all his friends and family. The coaches are all super patient around toddlers, encouraging and kind. Would highly recommend!
It’s a great setup. Every week is different, so many different games, skills, techniques. Staff are brilliant, the atmosphere is so relaxed, in my opinion they have the perfect mix of discipline, support and encouragement for the kids involved. Keep doing what you’re doing!
My son loves coming to little kickers and often talks about the coaches and can’t wait to see them each week.
My little boy love attending. Such a lovely little class to teach many skills, both around football and other development areas.
Great staff and atmosphere
Very well organised. The team clearly take pride in their work and genuinely seem happy when the little ones improve 🙂
The coaches are amazing and so engaging!
The team of coaches at Little Kickers East Surrey are INCREDIBLE. Always so enthusiastic and making sure every child in the class is involved and enjoying themselves.
Friendly, approachable and enthusiastic coaches. Fun activities, well organised. Good introduction to football.
We couldn’t be happier with Little Kickers! The coaches are absolutely brilliant – they are patient, energetic, and fantastic with the kids.
