Step 4 – CHILD’S PERSONAL DETAILS 👉 The parent/guardian gives the name and surname and the date of birth of the child on the registration form. ❗Important❗ Please note that only one child’s personal details can be given on the form, but personal details of a subsequent child can be added straight from the management panel.

We encourage children to take part a free trial sessions, following which the final decision can be made. The FA coach will also express their opinion on the child’s potential.

There is no such need, the classes are completely recreational. However, if preferred, please feel free to visit your GP, and if they advise as appropriate making any necessary referral to a specialist.
