1. Little Kickers Chelsea – Kensington and Westminster
Wow – that came around quickly! After a very brief summer break the full schedule of our Little Kickers classes is restarting in September and we are VERY excited!
St Luke’s Saturday classes , Hyde Park and the Hall of Remembrance are nearly full ALREADY so get in touch ASAP! They also have Sunday classes at Marlborough Primary School and Holland Park so get in touch now for the new term!
They are VERY delighted to announce that they are also starting their NEW LKFC programme in Hyde Park on Saturdays for children aged 5-6.5 yrs (Mega 1) and 6.5 -8yrs (`Mega two) on Saturdays. LKFC is an extension of Little Kickers for children aged 5 years plus. Although they run classes for 5-7 year olds for years under the Little Kickers banner, they wanted older children to feel like they were moving into more of a club setting hence the creation of Little Kickers Football Club (LKFC). This follows the successful launch of LKFC in Eel Brook Common. LKFC will also be running at St Luke’s in Chelsea on Tuesdays and at the Marlborough Primary school on Sundays
