Mini Stars
Mondays • 5–6pm
No experience, no worries. Half our Mini Stars are brand new to football. We start from zero and build up — never the other way around.
Shy kids thrive here. Small groups, familiar faces each week, coaches who learn every name. No pressure, no being picked last.
If they've got energy to burn, we've got structured ways to burn it. Every 10 minutes a new activity — they're never still, never bored.
Big brother or sister in Pre Academy or Boys Academy? Mini Stars is your child's own slot — same venue, same coaches, same family feel.
Your child is coached by the same team that develops Leicester's MJPL players. No pub-dad volunteers. Proper pedagogy for small feet.
Small groups by design. Every child gets touches, gets noticed, gets coached by name. Every session feels like play.
Mini Stars graduates move into Pre Academy at age 7 — same venue, same coaches, same family. Football becomes their thing if they want it to.
A full Nike kit comes with your £60 joining fee. No hunting for shin pads, no last-minute trainer runs. They turn up, they play, they belong.
Every session is designed to balance enjoyment, development, and challenge — helping players build confidence and improve technically.
Movement games, balance challenges, fun chases.
Warm muscles, happy faces, and coaches learning every name by minute three.
Each child, one ball, simple skills on repeat.
First touches build the coordination every position needs — and the confidence to try things.
Today's focus turned into a game the children can win.
Learning sticks when it's framed as play. They leave knowing something new without being taught.
Tiny-pitch, tiny-team game-like exercises with light coaching cues.
Real football shapes — attacking, defending, scoring — in a format that suits 4–6 year old brains.
Stretch, sit in a circle, share a win from the hour.
Ending the session calm and seen matters. Every child leaves heard — and excited for next Monday.
Absolutely yes — this is exactly who it's built for. Around half our Mini Stars arrive having never kicked a ball in their life. Our coaches start from zero and build up. First week, they'll leave smiling.
