Every child is different, so it is really never too late to start playing football. Our Introduction classes start at age 18 months and continue to 8 years old, with everyone welcome. We begin by teaching basic football skills such as dribbling and scoring in a fun and welcoming environment, so we recommend trying our introduction classes as soon as your child is 18 months old and a confident walker. Trial classes are available so why not give Sportivos a go!
Some children may not express an interest in football until they are a bit older. Our Recreation classes are for 3.5 – 5 year olds or our Development classes are for children aged 5 – 8 years.
As well as our Sportivos football classes for toddlers and children, we have a highly recommended Primary Schools Sports Programme which introduces children to Archery, Tri-Golf and Multi-skills.

Parents are only required to offer additional help in our youngest introduction class for age 18 months – 3.5 year olds.
It is very common for children and adults alike to be shy so we are used to helping these children feel comfortable and come out of their shell. We have found that the key to unlocking a shy personality is to give them the time and space they need to express themselves. We pride ourselves on our pressure free and friendly atmosphere at our classes.
