Hello everyone


last week I went to the East Dulwich Fusion (where pool is) for a football class for young children (3-5 year olds). There were five mums and kids (only kids playing!) and the children really had great fun.


The coach, Dave, is clearly passionate about football and also excellent with the little ones. I found the class to be not just about scoring goals, but also good for learning about colours, waiting, taking turns, making friends, building confidence and then of course practising physical skills.


So we were really sad to learn that that was the last class because Dave was losing money in renting the space with so few people turning up. He has now decided to set up a new one on Wednesday 4.30-5.30 pm still at Fusion, hoping more children who are at nursery in the morning can attend. So I am trying to help him out by spreading the word as I've never seen the class advertised anywhere and I would love for my little boy to keep attending.


Please join us next Wednesday. It will be great fun.


PS Dave's number is 0793 1304 183


PS2 I am not a friend or relative of the coash nor do I have any financial interest in the class. I just know that my son loved it!

It sounds great..my not quite 3 yr old (ok 2.5 yr old!) adores football and I was sad we couldn't make the tuesday class...but this new one is a bit late for us to be out with the baby too...shame...


Is it advertised much do you know? I looked on the ed fusion website and could find no mention of it....

no, no mention of it. Not advertised at all. I also think the 4.30 is a bit late, but there doesn't seem to be a perfect time that fits in with everyone. My son is not 3 yet either so that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe we could ask for a slightly earlier time of 4 pm?

not sure the 4-5 slot is a possiblity, i guess we can ask the coach next week. it would be difficult for me with naps (although he seems to be not so interested anymore!)

also if you feel class is too long, you could leave earlier. but i found that he manages to keep them well entertained even for that long, which is great.

Yes Tuesday morning would have been absolutely perfect for us too, a class starting at 4.30 is just too late. I have never seen this football class advertised, perhaps if the organiser addresses this he might drum up more kids.


If the class reverts back to Tuesday am I would definitely attend with my son, as it stands we don't have a class/activity on a Tuesday.

ok, thank you for the info about tue. i wonder if it is worth that you calling the coach directly and asking him wether he would do another class on tue. i guess that was the problem, the class simply wasn't advertised at all! i would go to either.

Hmmm, I posted the info about tues morn class on here after our first visit but I only had one person contact me?

    • Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.
    • I hear that Landells Road has had a spate of parcels being taken,
    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
    • Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
