Excellent class! We enjoy it so much. Only thing is is that there are too many kids per a class unfortunately, it’s very overwhelming for toddlers with so many kids!
The coach in Malahide could better tailor activities to the age of the class (Sunday 10am). There is also a lot of stop and start to wait for individual children. In other clssses we attend, the teacher typically continues thr class and allows parents to catch up with their child
Our 2-year-old absolutely loves his Little Kickers classes! It’s the perfect balance of fun and learning — he’s constantly challenged in such a positive way. The coaches are brilliant at keeping things engaging and age-appropriate while still helping the little ones develop their skills.
Highly recommend Little Kickers to any parent looking for a great first sports experience for their toddler!
The coaches are so enthusiastic and patient - I’ve seen the kids really come on and more importantly really enjoy the class. It can’t be easy to keep up that enthusiasm all morning at the different classes but they really are brilliant - special shout out to Marta, Maeve, Ailbhe and Amy in Clontarf who are fab
My son’s football skills have improved greatly, he loves the interaction with other children always a good experience. The coaches are great with the children
Elijah loves his coach Niamh and has learned to work with his team! The sharing ball teaches them so much and the stamps are life!
Excellent activity and motivation for the smallies in your life
The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming! They understand that young children don’t always listen and they are great at encouraging everyone to participate but not pushing! Would highly recommend as it’s helped my little boy come out of his shell as well as learning to share and give the ball back when asked!
It has helped my son become more sociable and independent. He loves going to his football class every week. He especially loves the stamps at the end!!
It was wonderful to be part of my son’s journey through classes 1–3 and watch him progress. From showing little interest in class to engaging more actively, and eventually completing classes on his own, his growth has been remarkable. These classes have also been a great bonding experience for us as parent and child
Little Kickers is the best! Highly recommend the classes. My daughter loves them.
All the coaches are lovely especially Victoria in Holywell.
Moiz very helpful when booking the classes. Thank you.
Little Kickers is a nice initiative in theory but in practice is a little underwhelming in my experience. Coaches are nice but young and seemingly inexperienced. Not enough is done to engage children and encourage participation and independence. More coaches per session may be needed.
At 60 euro a month it is quite expensive but my daughters dance class is more engaging and fosters more independence for a fraction of the cost, despite similar class sizes.
My little boy loves football & its amazing the age is so reasonable to start from 18 months and getting the little ones involved so young & to start them somewhere. We attended the whitehall one and Layla & pozzy (now Rosa) are absolutely brilliant and so involving with all the kids
