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.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
