Questions
Before you book
What if my child has never done extra training before?
That is most of who comes. Players work with others at a similar stage and the coach adjusts the challenge within the group. No previous experience needed beyond playing football.
Does my child need to play for a club already?
No. Plenty of players come without a team, either because they are new to football or because they want to build confidence before trying for one.
What happens if we miss a session in a block?
Tell us as early as you can and we will do our best to move you to another night that week, subject to a free place. Please do not turn up on a different night unannounced, because every session is capped at eight.
Can two siblings book together?
Yes, as long as both are between U6 and U12 and there are places in the same session. Book them one after the other, or register your interest and tell us both names.
Do sessions run in the school holidays?
Blocks run in term time. Holiday sessions are announced separately, so register your interest if you want to hear about them first.
What if the session I want is full?
Register your interest and tell us which nights work for you. We will let you know the moment a place opens, and that list is also how we decide which sessions to add next.
