Reviews
Exceptional attention to detail. The classes are engaging and enjoyable, with coaches who not only keep the kids entertained, but also are actively involved in the drills. Their genuine interest, patience, and passion make a meaningful impact on the children’s development.
A lovely interactive experience for young babies and children. My daughter started ages 18 months and she loved the games and the teacher calling her by her name, learning to kick and score goals, run about with other children her age.
My daughter absolutely loves this football class! It is such a fun and high-energy environment, and Coach Claire does an incredible job of keeping all the children fully engaged and involved for the entire duration. I highly recommend it!
We’ve really enjoyed our time with Little Kickers and have seen such a massive difference in our daughter’s confidence since she started. She’s come on so much and really enjoys the classes, so we appreciate the time and effort put into her by the coaches. I’ve recommended little kickers to everyone I can because I think it’s absolutely brilliant!
