Our Educational Method

We use sport to boost early learning. Key skills like literacy, numeracy, colours, and shape recognition are a core focus in all our sessions.

Our expert coaches have years of experience coaching children from 18 months to 11 years.

All coaches hold Enhanced DBS Checks and Basic First Aid certification. We are fully committed to the safety of all children, parents, and staff, following strict safeguarding protocols.

Every game provides an engaging theme and a new skill to practise. So, whilst children are learning essential skills, they are having maximum fun.

Each session is filled with fun, energy, and varied movement, which helps to build their core coordination skills.

Stickerbook Rewards

The Stickerbook is an excellent way to showcase the children's program to parents and incentivise good behaviour and participation. When the nursery chooses to enrol, Children Sport League provides every child with a Stickerbook to keep.

At the end of each session, the coach awards each child one sticker to place in their Stickerbook.

The children are rewarded with certificates, medals, and special prizes as they complete pages.

Private Lessons

Children Sports League's Private Sessions are bespoke and specialised to help your child to improve their skills in football.

These Private sessions can run in your garden or a local park. You can also invite your children's friends to take part.

We ensure that our coaches are fully aware of your needs for the session. For instance, a 'Technical' session will be composed for football drills that will focus on teaching basic football skills.

You may also like a 'Fun Session', this session will be composed of games that will get the children moving around, and using a lot of energy.
