Can anyone recommend football classes for 2 and a half/3 year olds please. We've tried Little Kickers but not keen on the venue and they have not proved to be very professional, coaches showing up late, sometimes not at all and the only time you can get through on their, ahem 'hotline' is when they want your money for the next set of classes.


Any suggestions as we are really keen to continue with our little man

Thanks

Anyone tried these classes lately? Am thinking of taking my son (19 months). He loves football but I suspect he might be put off by a shouty man and a whistle but hope it's worth a go. If anyone has been lately with a little one and has anything to add, I'd love to know.

Thanks

Took my 18 month old on Sunday morning, 11-12. I thought the guy teaching was great and it was ideal for a run around in the morning before lunch. Whistle was loud but my little one loved it. Give it a go. As says above, just 3 pounds drop in on a Sat or Sun morn at JAGS. I prefered it to most of the pricey music/dance themed classes we do during the week!
Hi all. After starting this thread way back when we did try Jags and found it great. Danny the coach is fab with the children and it's perfect that it's a drop in session. My boys are 3 and 4 so may be in a different group from you guys (no idea as it's Daddy's job!)

Hia,

Are there lots of girls that go to Baby Booters? My daughter is approaching 18 months (quickly - boo!) and is getting more and more boistress by the day. And is obsessed with footballs. Think she is still a bit young but its a great thin to keep in mind!

Thanks!

Try Little Kickers at Haberdasher Askes playing fields (indoor and outdoor facilities depending on the weather) - classes are really well run, not too noisy, keep control but allow lots of fun, teachers are really really nice and patient. They also have Little Rugby. I think they allow a free trial then you book a course of 6 classes if you decide to go ahead :)
Footie sessions at Jags on Saturday and Sunday are BRILLIANT. We have beEn taking our very active boy for a while now. Danny - the coach - does shout and blow the whistle quite loudly but generally the kids find it funny and get that he isn't being mean or grumpy; he is just in charge and boy, do the kids respond to him! If you ask my son, he says very clearly "Danny says, wait for the whistle, mummy" and he'll do a pretend whistle sound. He really loves it and you can just go along whenever you want so it works for us. Very popular with boys and girls.

Hi all,

Taking my girl in the new year to Jags on a Saturday (think the first one is in 2 weeks time). Can't wait. Just wondering if there's anything I need to take, or is it simply a case of turning up and just seeing what happens? Thanks v much :0)

Just heard about Super Sporty Kids which run classes every Saturday on Peckham Rye - looks great, wish I was 3 again!

We took our son to Little Kickers and the classes were great fun but he didn't warm to it and they moved from ED community centre to Nunhead so less handy for us...

I am trying to organise a class during the week after school. So fare 5 parents are interested. It would be either Mon, Tue or Wed at 4 pm for about an hour. Cost about ?4. Location between Camberwell and ED.

I have got a coach who is brilliant. So contact me if interested.

Thank you

Super Sporty Kids are looking at running a sports class during the week. They need enough interest (10 people) to start a weekday session. 11 to 12 noon for 3 to 4 year olds.

Otherwise they run on Saturday afternoons - look under the 'About Us' tab and all the times are there.


Great coach and the kids love him


?7.00 per session (1 hour) longer for the older children

Sorry, not directly responsive to pilsbury's question, but I wanted to post information about a new football class starting in the area, which is a 10 am Saturday class for 3.5-5 year olds at the East Dulwich Community Centre on Darrell Road. We did a course with Coach Denzil at his previous location in Catford and thought it was terrific -- he's very engaging and easily kept the children's attention, the exercises are more challenging than the ones at several younger toddler football classes we'd tried, he plans to keep the classes fairly small, and now there's the bonus that he's shifted the class into this area. He was very well-regarded as a coach when he taught at Little Kickers a couple of years ago (we learned of him through a rec from a friend with a child in that class), but has now branched out to teach on his own. You can reach him at [email protected].


He is currently evaluating the level of interest in classes for both younger (2.5-3 y.o.) and older (5-7 y.o.) children, and may be starting those classes in the next few weeks if there is enough interest, so please get in touch with him if you would be interested in either of those.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
