About Footy Fun 4 Kids
Where it all started
Footy Fun 4 Kids started delivering football activities in Wandsworth and Ealing in 2014.
Now with over 20 years worth of combined coaching experience, Footy Fun 4 Kids prides itself in being one of the top rated children’s football deliverers in West London.
Our Founders
Coach’s Chris and Lara were living in Ealing, West London when they spotted a gap in the market for activities for young people aged 18 months – 12 years.
They have developed Footy Fun 4 Kids sessions as a way of developing young people in all aspects of life. Football as the tool, allows their coaches to work closely with the young participants at developing confidence, social skills and independence, whilst increasing physical exercise and, of course, learning new football skills!
A high percentage of young people are excluded from the game at a very young age due to a number of factors. Footy Fun 4 Kids activities welcomes all young people to the game and nurtures their inner footballer. We give your child a positive introduction to football, coaching high quality football skills in a friendly, fun and learning environment.
FF4K Values
At Footy Fun 4 Kids we believe it’s important for young people to buy into our coaching values and carry them with them in all that they do. All sessions are based around these values and core skills, where we progress young people across the various levels of the club
Our values have been developed with more than just football in mind. All sessions are delivered via a child centred approach with a huge focus on having fun with friends:
- Promote a healthy lifestyle for children
- Provide safe, fun and engaging sports sessions for all
- Act as role models within the local community
- Be professional and the best we can be at all times
For those young people wishing to progress to a more competitive game, Footy Fun 4 Kids offers annual trials at our newly formed sister club Northfields United.
Testimonials
What Parents are Saying
“Our 15 year-old son George began volunteering with Footy Fun in July 2019. Benefiting from the positive encouragement and support given to him by Chris, Lara and the Footy Fun team, his confidence and independence has grown significantly. George loves being part of the team and has blossomed as his teaching skills have developed under the close direction of the Footy Fun team. Inspired by his experience volunteering with Footy Fun, George proudly now helps to run some of the small group sessions on a Saturday morning. He has the highest respect for Chris and Lara as they have mentored him with such professionalism so that he feels happy and confident in his role and can, in his turn, inspire the children with whom he now works.”
“Our son has been attending football classes with Chris and Lara now for 3 years. He first attended the Mini Kickers classes on a Sunday which taught him basic skills and saw his confidence improve in a matter of weeks. His favourite games were Sharks Coming, the Pirate game and Angry Birds. After 6 months we moved over to Saturday training with the older group and he has pretty much been every week since. He genuinely loves football now due to the classes and has started talking about playing for NUFC one day!”
“Both our son and daughter have attended footy classes with FF4K. We initially stayed during the sessions to make sure the kids where ok. After 2 weeks we were able to leave the children which was a plus as we could go and do a few bits kid free. The kids love coming each week and it’s amazing how much they have improved since first attending over a year ago. Credit to the coaches for putting on fun session for all.”
