Why Future Stars

More than
kicking a ball

Young children do not need tactics. They need to move, to try things, and to be told they did well. Everything else follows from there.

Fun comes first

Sessions are built around games, not drills. If they are laughing, they are learning, and they will want to come back next week.

Confidence and coordination

Running, balancing, stopping, turning. The things that help on a football pitch happen to be the things that help everywhere else too.

Real football fundamentals

Proper coaching from a former professional, pitched at exactly the right level for small legs and short attention spans.

Encouragement, never pressure

Nobody is shouted at, nobody is left out, and nobody has to join in before they are ready. Every child moves at their own pace.

A clear next step

When your child outgrows Future Stars they move straight into Next Level Player Development: same coach, same standards.

Safe and properly organised

DBS checked, first aid trained, small groups, and a parent on site throughout. Everything is written down and nothing is improvised.

A look at a session

Small people,
big mornings

Balls that are nearly too big to carry, socks that will not stay up, and the moment it finally goes in the net.

How it works

Four steps,
no small print

The first session is a free trial. Membership only begins afterwards, if you decide it is right for your child.

  1. 1

    Pick a class

    Choose the group that matches your child's age. Not sure? Book the nearest one and Coach Will will move you if it is not quite right.

  2. 2

    Book a free trial

    Two minutes on your phone. We ask for medical and emergency details so the session is safe, and you get a confirmation email straight away.

  3. 3

    Come along

    Turn up ten minutes early, meet Coach Will, and see how your child gets on. You stay on site the whole time.

  4. 4

    Carry on if it suits

    Enjoyed it? Membership is £35 a month, arranged directly with Coach Will. Not for you? No cost, no awkwardness, no follow-up sales call.

Ready to give it a go?

One free trial session per child. No card details needed.

COACH WILL
Head Coach & Founder
Meet the coach

A real coach,
not a babysitter

Coach Will is a former professional footballer who now spends his week coaching players of every age, from toddlers taking their first kick to teenagers pushing for academy places.

He is DBS checked and first aid trained, and also holds qualifications as a personal trainer and nutritionist. With Future Stars, all of that experience gets pointed at one thing: making a two-year-old's first experience of football a happy one.

He has connections across the Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Fulham, Gillingham academies, but none of that matters on a Saturday morning. What matters is that your child leaves smiling.

More about Coach Will
The Next Level pathway

Where it goes
from here

Future Stars is the beginning, not the whole story. When your child outgrows it, they move straight across to our sister programme: same coach, same standards, next stage.

Stage one · Where you are now

Next Level Future Stars

Group classes for toddlers and young children. First touches, first friends, first taste of a proper football session, with a free trial to start.

Book a Free Trial
Stage two · When they are ready

Next Level Player Development

As your child grows out of Future Stars they move up automatically into one-to-one and small-group coaching for older players, with the same Coach Will working on the things that matter at that age.

How the step up works

Coach Will decides when a child is ready to move up and will always talk it through with you first. Nobody is moved on automatically without a conversation.

For parents

The things you
want to know

You are handing your very small child to somebody else for the first time. Here is exactly how we handle that.

Medical information
We ask about conditions, allergies, asthma and medication at booking, and Coach Will reads it before your child's first session.
Allergies and asthma
Flagged clearly on the coach's register. If your child carries an inhaler, tell us where it is kept and who can help them use it.
First aid
Coach Will is first aid trained and carries a kit to every session.
Photos and video
Always optional, always separate from the booking terms. Say no and your child still plays; we simply keep them out of shot.
Communication
You will hear from us by email and phone about your child's sessions, and nothing else unless you ask for it.
Attendance
Every session is registered, so we always know exactly who is on the pitch.
Safeguarding
A written safeguarding policy, a named contact, and a coach who is DBS checked.
Staying nearby
A parent or guardian stays on site for the whole session, and with our youngest group you are on the grass alongside them.

Still got a question?

Call Coach Will directly. He would rather talk it through than have you wondering.

Questions

Everything parents
usually ask

Almost certainly not. Our youngest group is for toddlers who are steady on their feet, and a grown-up stays with them the whole session. If you are unsure, come to the free trial and see. There is no cost and no commitment either way.

Free first session

Your child's first session is on us

Book a free trial and see how they get on. There is nothing to pay and nothing to sign up to.

One free trial session per child. Booking takes about two minutes.

Prefer to talk to somebody first? Coach Will answers his own phone.
