Toddler Football in Swindon
Our toddler football classes are for children aged 2–4, every Saturday at 9:30am.
Classes last 40 minutes and parents join in, so even the shyest toddler has someone to hold onto until they're ready to have a go on their own. Football for 2, 3 and 4 year olds is all about running, balance and getting comfortable with the ball, taught through games with lots of encouragement.
Kids Football Coaching and Training in Swindon
For school-age children we run two 50-minute classes every Saturday morning: Reception and Year 1 at 10:15am, and Year 2 and up at 11:10am. School-age classes are led by the coaches while parents watch from the side.
No boring drills. No standing in lines. Skills, technique and tactical awareness are taught through fun, fast-moving games, so children improve quickly and look forward to coming back.
Whether your child is brand new to football or already plays for a junior or youth team and wants extra skills coaching, our classes will suit them.

What parents say
My son is now almost 6 years old and has been going to First Steps Soccer since he was 18 months which he has thoroughly enjoyed! The classes are extremely well run and provide the kids with excellent coaching within a disciplined but also really fun environment. I would highly recommend FSS to any parent.
“F” has got so much out of attending the sessions. I think it has helped his confidence enormously. The classes are about much more than just football. I think Joe is excellent with the children and he has played a big part in bringing “F” out of his shell in classes.
Our two sons have both attended classes over the last 5 years and have really enjoyed them as well as learning and developing some great footbal skills. The lessons have given them the basics, and more, and helped them to really enjoy the game. Thanks to Mark and his team.
