Thank you both very much for teaching me to play football & for helping me to do my skills. Thank you for letting my little brother, Jacob, join in. We had lots of fun!

Zachary Scarlett (Age 4), Valley Toddler Soccer

Just to let you know we have just signed our son up for another term at Toddler Soccer in Ballymacash Primary.

Many thanks for such a great time for our son who cannot wait to attend every week & see the coaches, John & Darren.

Best Regards, Jo & Graeme.

Gerard's really enjoying Toddler Soccer, Coach Ronnie is FAB.  Keep up the great work!  From a very happy Mum & Dad.

Nathan attended his 1st session today with Coach John and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Coach John has a lot of time and patience and made us feel very welcome.  Nathan is now very tired (can only be a good thing!)

Look forward to next week.

Andrene Adams, Six Mile Toddler Soccer

Just wanted to mention about Coach John at Ballymacash.  He is first class and absolutely fantastic with the little ones.

I have never seen someone be so patient with a crew of over excited boys!  He keeps his cool and speaks in such a lovely way to them, without shouting and amazingly, they all listen and end up doing what he asks!

A great guy and Callum really liked him - and you know how honest 5 year olds are!

Please pass on our thanks to him.

Avril Keys, Ballymacash Toddler Soccer

Tim, just wanted to say a big thank you for the fab session my son enjoyed at the Jethro Centre in Lurgan last week.  My husband & I both whole heartedly support your efforts to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity among our little ones.  As we have both enjoyed the many benefits of team & solo sport through our lives, we would therefore want to afford our son the same opportunities. 
 
We commend you on a very toddler friendly & down to earth but professional teaching technique, perhaps this week Morgan's attention span might last longer than the roll call!!

...Another great class today, you're very creative with Roary & the traffic lights.

Keep up the great work & we'll see you next week!

My son Matthew took part in your Easter programme at Stormont.  He had a brilliant time & never having played football before he took to it really well.  Your coaches were excellent & the concepts you used to keep the interest of the kids were very well thought out.  Thanks to all your team.

Johnny McQuiston, Civil Service Easter Road Show

Luke loves attending and we continue to be very impressed with the high quality coaching he receives from your team.

Robin Arbuthnot, Six Mile Toddler Soccer

Just wanted to let you know how brilliant Ronnie & Nigel are with the boys, especially Josh & his friend Teddy, they are probably the youngest there at 2 years & 5 months but both Ronnie & Nigel are so patient & encouraging with them I can't rate them highly enough.

Ali Boyd, St. Columbas Toddler Soccer

Hi Tim,

I just wanted to email you once again (I know I am sorry), to praise Ronnie & Nigel at St. Columbas on Friday's.  They really earn their stripes.  Joshua, his pals Teddy & Maxim (who has recently started) are the youngest at 2.5 years & would test the patience of Job!  Nigel & Ronnie are so patient even if it is like herding sheep for them when the three of them get together.  They never fail to keep upbeat & encourage them.

So basically what I wanted to say to you was that you are doing a fantastic job.  You have really created something brilliant & I know I just scratch the surface when I say as a parent that you & your organisation have provided a safe, friendly environment for kids to enjoy.

Well done!

Ali Boyd, St. Columbas Toddler Soccer

We had a great time - Finn loved it.  He's not able to totally follow everything just yet but he got a lot out of it all the same!  We'll definately be back next week.

Coach Christine is lovely & very good with the kids - all round we're very happy to have found you!

Jennifer Taggart, Valley Toddler Soccer

Lewis enjoyed his first day at football.
 
He quickly got down to dribbling (with the ball) & wearing a bib to signify being a shark, lol.  Coach Kevin included him in a lot of activities which was good to see.
 
Only problem we have at the minute is Lewis is chasing after the ball & slowing it down with his hands & lifting it, I told him footballers don't use their hands but it's in one ear & out the other, ha-ha.  He will soon get the just of it I'm sure.  He scored plenty of goals at the end of the session & was jumping up & down when he did, so he came home to tell mum all about it.
 
Regards,

Corey is absolutely loving his classes with coach Christine.  She is really good with the little ones – keeping their attention & speaking to them on exactly the right level.

She is a real asset to your team.  Praising them all the time even when Corey hasn’t quite mastered not to stop the ball with his hands – believe me we’re working on that at home!  I wasn’t sure at 3 & a half he’d be ready but he is improving each week.  She even stopped us after class to reaffirm how well he’s doing having only just begun.  That personal touch.

Darren Seaton, Eddie Irvine Toddler Soccer

I wanted to let you know that Ryan has come on leaps & bounds in the past month.  He started out not wanting to join in back in January & I had to be at his side constantly encouraging him.

Now on a Saturday morning he runs in & can't wait to get started & I get told to go & sit down!

He loves it & it is doing wonders for his self confidence he also has quite a soft spot for Coach Christine, hats off to her she does a fab job with them all!

Elaine Rafferty, Hillsborough Toddler Soccer

We went to have a look on Saturday to see what Toddler Soccer was like & we (me & my son) are very impressed.

Matthew immediately wanted to join in & ever since he hasn't stopped kicking a ball around in our back garden.

We're looking forward to this Saturday's class already!

Thank you & best regards,

The hall is just the right size for little legs & Danny is a very talented coach.

Olwin Frost, Whiteabbey Toddler Soccer

Boys got on great at the classes.  I was pleasantly surprised at how Peter behaved & he participated well so I have signed him up for the rest of the sessions at Toddler Soccer.

The older two were delighted to get playing a match at the end of Mini Soccer & Adam gives it 10 out of 10!

Lisa Thompson, Antrim Toddler Soccer

Mollie really enjoyed the class.  She got a bit tired near the end, but I was surprised how well she did.  She's at home with me all the time & this was her first structured activity away from me, so it was great to see her doing what someone strange was telling her to do!

When Coaches were standing with arms outstretched in the middle of the hall trying to 'catch' the kids, she ran to Coach James, thinking he was asking for a hug!  Ah well, at just turning 2.5 she's very young.  Hopefully as the weeks go on she'll pick it up ok.

Coach Ronnie & Coach James were brilliant.  How they managed to keep 14 toddlers under control is beyond me!  I even caught Mollie pretending to be Coach Ronnie last night.  She was standing with her foot on her ball shouting, "Right Guys, Ready?"

All of the kids really enjoyed it, & the older group waiting for the hall after us, all seemed very keen to get started.

We're looking forward to next week.  Thanks for all your help.

Hi Tim

Thank you for Joshua's e-card.  A big 3 year old today.  He got goal posts for his birthday and was playing out at them last night.  He got a bit miffed when he didnt score as we didnt have Coach Ronnie or Coach Nigel there to move the posts to make sure he did!  He couldnt understand it!

Thanks again
