Frequently asked questions

  • Because venue and staffing costs are fixed, missed sessions are not refundable. A similarly aged friend or family member may attend in your child’s place, or you can text Mark or Joe on 07825 994671 and they will try to help you find a suitable make-up session.

  • Parents support and join in with their child during pre-school classes. School-age sessions are led by the coaches, although parents are asked to stay, watch and help if needed.

  • Children can join at any point from their second birthday through to age ten.

  • Classes are indoors. Pre-school groups usually use medium-sized community venues, while most school-age sessions take place in larger sports halls.

  • Text, email or message FSS to confirm that you would like to continue. You will then receive a GoCardless link to set up the monthly Direct Debit.

  • No. The annual cost is divided into 12 equal monthly payments, so payments continue during holiday periods even though the class calendar follows school terms.
