What a great football school/club.
My son had tried a couple of others and just did not like them. He feels welcome and has gained confidence at footy school. ***** has progressed massively. I didn't think football was gonna be for my son based on passed experience with other clubs.... However..... I was wrong!!!
I would recommend footy school to all abilities. Chris the manager doesn't complicate the skills and games, he keeps it fun but with the same high end results.
A very pleased mother, an extremely happy son and an ecstatic father.
Thanks footy school & stopsley sharks fc x

***** is really enjoying the sessions. I have to say I'm really impressed by the skilled way all three of you help and encourage him - that specific praise you give is very motivating for him. And as a teacher myself, I'm really struck by the way you guys manage and get the most out of the sessions - very impressive!
