South East Essex Frequently Asked Questions

How much do classes cost?

Our classes are £45 per month for peak weekend classes and £35 per month for off-peak weekday classes, paid via a simple recurring subscription (similar to a gym membership).

There is also a one-off £25 membership fee, which includes your child’s first football kit.

How does the monthly payment work?

Your payment secures your place in the class each week rather than paying per session.

Your billing date is based on your first class and stays the same each month.

Do I have to commit long-term?

No long-term contract—just a 30 days’ written notice required if you wish to cancel.

What happens if my child misses a class?

Missed classes are non-refundable, but we’ll always try to help with:

  • A catch-up session (subject to availability), or
  • A send-a-friend option

Why is the monthly price always the same?

Some months you will have 4 sessions and some months you will have 5.

For example, if your billing date is the 8th:
You may have 4 sessions between 8th April and 8th May
But 5 sessions between 8th May and 8th June

The monthly price remains £45 or £35. Over the year, this balances out so you receive the correct number of sessions overall.

Do you charge during planned closures?

Yes, and here’s why.

We have 4 planned closures each year: Easter, late August bank holiday weekend, and 2 weeks over Christmas.

We do not refund or reduce payments for these closures because across the year, some months include 5 sessions instead of 4.

These extra sessions balance out the weeks where classes do not run, meaning everything evens out over the year.

What about weekday after school classes?

Weekday after school classes run during term time only and customers will see a reduction the following month.

Your payments are adjusted across the year to account for the weeks where weekday classes do not run, apart from the 4 standard closures (which are charged for every customer).

How do I cancel?

We require one billing month’s notice to cancel.

Cancellations must be made by email, and we will confirm your final class date once received.

Do parents stay during the session?

Yes. For our younger classes (Little Kicks & some Junior Kickers), parents or carers can join in the session.

For older groups, children become more independent while parents watch from the side.

What should my child wear?

Comfortable clothes and trainers are perfect to start. Once registered, your child will receive their Little Kickers kit as part of the membership fee.

Are classes indoors or outdoors?

We offer a mix of indoor all year and outdoor venues during summer between May – September.

Can my child start anytime of the year?

Yes! Your child can join Little Kickers at any point during the year—we don’t operate around traditional school terms.

Our programme runs continuously year-round, so you can start whenever it suits you, and your child will simply join the class and settle in at their own pace.

How do you track progress?

Children work towards badges and certificates, awarded regularly to celebrate their development and achievements—something they absolutely love!

Our sessions develop much more than football skills, including:

  • Confidence
  • Coordination
  • Teamwork
  • Listening and concentration
  • Social skills
  • Independence
