Explore the age groups →How is SoccerTots different from a regular football class?
SoccerTots starts with play, movement and ball exploration. Football is a tool for participation and interaction, rather than a focus on technical drills or match results.
Explore play-based teaching →Do parents take part in the class?
One accompanying adult is recommended, with younger children often needing more support. Confirm participation arrangements with the coach and encourage your child to try for themselves.

Wear comfortable clothes and bring drinking water and a change of clothes. Confirm footwear, meeting point and time with the team before buying any specialist football equipment.

No football experience is needed. Sessions begin with simple movement and ball exploration, and children can watch before joining in.
