Football sessions at these venues are paid for by the block and in advance of the first class, this ensures your child’s place in the class and that you have priority rebooking each term.

Rebooking Process


Children that are participating in our classes are given a priority period in order to rebook for each term. Parents will receive an email notifying you of the 2-week rebooking period, how much the term costs and details of how you can pay. Once you have paid for the next term, you have secured the place for your child and nothing else needs to be done. It’s as easy as that. Please make sure we have your most up-to-date email, so you don’t miss the information! For those who miss the 2-week priority period, your child be removed from class.
