Choosing an activity for your child isn’t always easy. You want something active, social, and fun — but also a programme that supports their development, builds confidence, and helps them feel like they truly belong.
At Kixx, we’re incredibly proud of the experience and impact we deliver each week for families across the UK. Our football programmes for early years and beyond are designed to give every child the chance to grow both on and off the pitch.
So many parents tell us about the way Kixx builds children’s confidence through football — making it one of the most trusted football classes for shy children as well as those full of confidence already.
“It’s given her the best possible start.”
Amina & Aaliyah, Kixx Birmingham (Age 2)
“Aaliyah had just turned 2 when she joined Kixx. I wasn’t sure what to expect at that age, but I’ve been amazed. She’s already learning to take turns, follow simple instructions, and move with confidence. It’s given her the best possible start—and we both love our Saturday mornings together.”
“From Shy to Smiling: Noah’s Journey”
Ben & Noah, Kixx Derby (Age 3)
“When my son first joined Kixx, he was so shy he wouldn’t even step onto the pitch. The coaches were patient and encouraging, and within a few weeks he was running out with a smile on his face. It’s been incredible to watch his confidence grow, both in these weekly activities and in his life outside Kixx.”
Stories like Noah’s remind us why families describe Kixx as one of the most welcoming football classes for shy children, where patient coaching helps even the most reserved little ones find their feet.
“It’s the highlight of our week.”
Emma & Arlo, Kixx Doncaster (Age 4)
“Arlo started Kixx when he was 2, and it’s honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made. He was quite shy at first, but the coaches were amazing at helping him settle. Now he runs in with a big smile every week. It’s the highlight of our week—and his.”
“It’s not just football—it’s confidence, friends, and fun.”
Malek & Zara, Kixx Leicester (Age 5)
“When Zara started school, we wanted something active and positive to balance out the week. Kixx has been brilliant. It’s helped her stay active and burn off energy in a really fun way, and she’s made lovely new friends too. It’s not just football—it’s confidence, friends, and fun.”
“He’s grown so much as a person.”
Claire & Jacob, Kixx York (Age 7)
“Jacob has been with Kixx for a few years now, and we’ve seen him grow so much—not just in football ability, but as a person. He’s more confident, he communicates better, and he’s learning to be a great teammate. The coaches are a big part of that.”
“We joined to help him feel ready for secondary school.”
Steve & Daniel, Kixx Sheffield (Age 10)
“Daniel joined Kixx at 9 because we wanted to give him time to develop before starting secondary school. Football’s always been something he’s enjoyed, but what we’ve seen is a real boost in his confidence, communication, and social skills. Knowing he’ll have football as an option at playtimes—and that he feels confident getting involved—has been a big reassurance for us as parents.”
As children grow, parents tell us they see a lasting impact—stronger teamwork, greater resilience, and growing confidence through football, both on and off the pitch.
