Watch first, join when ready
Your child is allowed to just watch. Nobody's forced, nobody's shouted at, and every child gets noticed.
Parents stay close by and are involved, especially at the start and end of every session.
Certificates they can't wait to collect
Every session ends with our presentation, where the coach hands out certificates. They're collectables, and they add up to real prizes.
All free, and all theirs to keep.

info@compasssports.co.ukWhat parents ask us first
For football drills, yes. This is play that builds listening and confidence, planned for 3 and 4 year olds.
Yes. You stay close by, and parents are involved at the start and end of every session.
They don't have to. Watching counts, and you stay with them. Most children join in naturally once they feel safe and comfortable.
No. Sessions are capped at 14 children, with the same routine each week and a coach they get to know.
£30 a month, no kit, no sign-up fee. The first session is free.
No contract. You can cancel with 30 days' notice by emailing info@compasssports.co.uk. Try the free session first, and only carry on if it feels right for your child.
You can secure the full booking straight away in your Class4Kids account. Or we'll send you a reminder before the next session, and you can choose to continue or not. No pressure either way.
Yes. Sessions run in the sports hall at Long Ridings Primary, so it's on rain or shine, every week.
Fair question. The park burns energy. Footie Tots builds confidence: listening to a grown-up who isn't you, waiting their turn and joining a group they don't know yet. And the park's still there at 10.
