These things happen. The child would let us know and we would bring him or her to you as you watch from the sidelines.

What if my child is slower than everyone else will they be left out ?

Absolutely not! Everyone develops at different times, the boy or girl who is developing slowest this year may well be the best player on the pitch by the time he is in a team.

How long will the sessions run for on the day ?

They are one hour slots – try to get there a few minutes before the start time please, we like to start on time as we cannot go past our allotted time in the gym as others are booked in after us.

What will happen in the sessions ?

Individual ball control practise, fun, football orientated games, some fitness work, lots of running around and having fun!

What if my child is injured or has an accident how is this dealt with ?

We have first aid trained people available on site. They will deal with the situation as per their training, but invariably you will be called to join your child on the pitch whilst an assessment is made and dealt with appropriately.

Will there be drinks and snacks provided ?

No, that one is down to you! Please ensure your child ALWAYS brings a drink.

Am I allowed to stay for the session ?

Yes, of course we encourage this!

What if I cannot make a booked session will I lose the money ?

Unfortunately yes

If I am running late with my child will they still be allowed to take part ?

Yes, but please try and make sure you arrive prior to the session starting. Latecomers affect the group as the coach may have to stop the session to accommodate them into a group drill as an example.

What should my child wear ?

Appropriate clothing is generally a football kit and trainers. They don’t need any particular kit, a t-shirt and shorts/tracksuit is more than adequate for their first few sessions.

My child has a disability is there any support for this ?

This is something we are happy to discuss with you. You know your child better than anyone, and you know their limits and abilities. Should we decide together that these sessions may not be the best for your child, we are planning on a new disability session commencing in 2025/2026. We don’t have specifics on these sessions yet, but keep an eye on our socials!

Where is the training held and is there parking ?

The gym at Rainhill High School, Warrington Road, Rainhill. L35 6NY. There is free parking available on site.
