Little Kickers Avis 661

My child had a trial session as he has just recently taken an interest in football,it was his first ever football club experience- though he seemed to enjoy it, he has no other experience to compare it to but I do. They got through alot of drills but there was no developmentally systematic order to them and some activities weren't appropriate for those learning early football skills, the activities weren't tailored to children's current abilities or extra modelled support given- alot of barked orders, my child was literally instructed to "copy what the other kids do" when the coach introduced himself before the session started. There were only a total of 5 kids and 3 coaches which is an advantage for coaching however I didn't feel like the extra coaches were utilized effectively enough and the energy and delivery was militant and rushed by the elder coaches, the younger one was more relaxed. There was no element of fun enthusiasm for the age range of children the coaches were working with (5-7 year olds) not even a smile was cracked when 'praise' was given and there seemed to be the assumption that every child knew the rules of football which wasn't the case, the children were given 2 different coloured bibs, told to stand opposite eachother in teams and the whistle was blown for the mini game to start. No explanation for what team was scoring where etc prior to the game starting. My child had to do a throw in and instead of simply instructing my child, "throw the ball to a child with the same colour bib as you", the assistant coach stood behind him and helped him throw the ball which wouldn't have been necessary had she explained what he needed to do as he takes instruction well. Thankfully this was just a trial and not a paid session.

It offers a good blend of structured activities and free play. My child enjoyed every session very much. We will definitely booked him in for a summer camp.

We love coming to Little Kickers every week - my son love the class and has made some lovely friends. The two coaches are genuinely so great with kids, and we will keep coming until he's sick of it.

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Little Kickers. The coaches are brilliant—really friendly, patient, and great with young children. Each session is fun and engaging, which keeps my 4-year-old excited to go every week.

I’ve also seen a noticeable improvement in his confidence and football skills in a short time. It’s a great environment for kids to learn, develop, and enjoy being active. Highly recommended!

We were impressed with the coach's emphasis on being aware of where other players are, what to do next, etc. -- not what most five-year-olds are thinking about, but SO good for our son to biuld this awareness

Friendly coaches and a great opportunity for little one to burn some energy, interact with other children and learn new skills. Completely judgement free environment as well.

My time slot works for both child and adult. We cheer all the kids and motivate them.

My 2-year-old daughter’s physical and social skills have improved gradually. She goes to the classes willingly and leaves happy. I’m very satisfied with Little Kickers.

My boy is full of beans and runs non stop. This class is perfect for him and has really helped him understand taking orders and following instructions etc.
He loves it so much and runs to the door shouting 'ball' when I said we are going.

My daughter has been with Little kickers since she was 1.5 years old and we’ve had a great experience with them. The coaches are patient, encouraging, and really focus on building confidence and teamwork in the kids. It’s been amazing to see how much my daughter has grown - not just in her skills, but also in her confidence and love for the game. We’re very grateful for such a positive and supportive environment.

Great fun for little ones! My little boy is 2 and he was so shy at first but his coaches helped him come out his shell and he is so confident now, he even won player of the week! He loves going to his wee football class

Dean & Eve are wonderful coaches and excellent with the children, my son who is turning 6 this month has been going since he was 18 months and now my daughter has also joined.

Couldn't recommend enough, esp the coaches, they do a wonderful job. Nikita & Phil x

Good lesson structure and always lovely with my son

The coaches are amazing!! The sessions are so well organized and I really appreciate the focus on skill development.

We've only done two classes but our twins love it

The coaches are so fab and engaging

Would 100% recommend

Great staff. Very child friendly.

My son has been with Little Knickers for over three years, and I’m extremely happy with the club and the progress he has made. It is a well-organised and respected club with dedicated, friendly coaches who are clear and supportive.
The children are not only taught football skills but also respect, discipline, and good sportsmanship. My son always looks forward to training and loves being part of the team. I would highly recommend this club to other parents. ⚽

My 3-year-old son was injured during a Little Kickers session after slipping on a football. He was clearly howling in pain following the fall. No member of staff came over to check on him or assess whether he needed medical attention, so I removed him from the class and took him home.

We later took him to hospital where he was diagnosed with a fractured tibia and required several weeks in a cast.

I contacted the club afterwards to ask what their injury and first-aid procedures were and why no staff member checked on him at the time. The response I received was that because I had comforted him and taken him out of the hall, they assumed the issue had been resolved.

For a class aimed at very young children, I would expect staff to check on any child who is clearly distressed after a fall, even if a parent is present.
