4 Reasons To Choose Our Football Classes

30th June 2024

If you’re looking for football lessons that help your child grow in confidence, coordination and friendship, you’ve come to the right place. At Kixx football classes, we blend fun and learning to give every child the perfect start — both on and off the pitch.

Here are four reasons parents across the UK choose Kixx to help their children grow through football.

1. Our Football Classes Are For Everyone

At Kixx, we believe football is for every child — no matter their ability, background or ambition. Whether your little one is kicking a ball for the first time or already loves the game, our sessions are inclusive, welcoming and full of encouragement.

Football doesn’t have to be about becoming a professional player. It’s about enjoyment, movement and confidence — all in a safe, positive environment.

Great Value for Families

Each Kixx session is packed with fun, teamwork and valuable life skills that support your child’s physical, mental and social development. We’re proud to offer sessions that are both affordable and high-quality — with:

A free official Kixx kit so every child feels part of the team from day one.
A money-back guarantee — if your child doesn’t love their first session, you’ll receive a full refund.
A commitment to keeping our prices accessible to all families.

Locations Across the UK

With academies across the UK — from the North West to the South East — it’s easy to find your nearest Kixx Academy. We’re growing fast, and our mission to positively impact children’s lives never stops.

For Ages 18 Months to 11 Years

We deliver football lessons to children aged 18 months to 11 years.

We’ve worked with Early Years Experts to create fun activities that support the development of gross motor skills — a vital part of your child’s growth and coordination.

According to the NHS physical activity guidelines for children under 5 years, little ones should be active every day to build strength, balance and confidence — exactly what our Kixx football classes are all about.

To ensure our classes are delivered to an appropriate standard, we segment age ranges so children at a similar stage of development can play and train together. No matter a child’s ability, we are open to all!

2. All-Year-Round Football Lessons

At Kixx, the fun doesn’t stop when the school term ends! We know how important routine and regular activity are for children’s confidence and wellbeing — and that’s why our football academies run all year round.

During long school holidays, children can sometimes lose structure and connection. According to Sport England’s Children and Young People research, staying active helps young people maintain motivation, develop friendships, and build confidence — all key to their ongoing wellbeing.

That’s exactly what our Kixx football classes aim to do: keep children active, connected, and smiling every week.

We operate in 8-week cycles, followed by a short rest week before the next block begins. This rhythm helps families plan ahead while ensuring children enjoy consistent progress and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with their friends.

The benefits go far beyond the pitch, too. The UK Government’s Physical Activity Guidelines highlight how staying active throughout the year supports physical growth, emotional balance, and social development.

So, when other activities pause for the holidays, you can count on Kixx to keep your little ones moving, learning, and having lots of football fun — come rain or shine.

3. Focused on Child Development — and Always Fun!

At the heart of every Kixx session is one simple goal: to help children thrive.

Our lessons are designed to enhance:

Cognitive development – learning focus, listening and decision-making.
Social skills – teamwork, communication and confidence.
Motor skills – balance, coordination and strength.
Emotional wellbeing – resilience, pride and self-belief.

All of this is achieved through playful, energetic sessions where fun comes first. When children enjoy what they’re doing, they learn faster and shine brighter.
