Why choose First Kicks Football?
First Kicks Football offers much more than football. Our classes are designed specifically for children aged 1–4 years, helping them build confidence, coordination, balance and social skills through fun, engaging activities. Parents stay involved during every session, making it a special bonding experience. Our qualified, Garda-vetted coaches create a safe, friendly and supportive environment where every child is encouraged to learn, play and grow at their own pace. Small age-appropriate groups ensure each child gets plenty of attention, making First Kicks the perfect introduction to sport. ⚽💚
Common questions before booking
Parents often ask if their child needs football experience—the answer is no! Our classes are designed for complete beginners aged 1–4 years. Parents also ask if they stay during the session (yes!), what their child should wear (comfortable clothes and trainers), whether the classes are safe (absolutely, with qualified and Garda-vetted coaches), and what happens if their child is shy. We create a fun, welcoming environment where every child can join in at their own pace, build confidence and most importantly, enjoy themselves. ⚽💚
