1st experience of SCS football training⁸
Met Josh for the 1st time for my grandsons xtra training on a one to one basis. Josh was v. friendly and made us all welcome. Training started straight away and was polite and made my g/son feel at ease. He certainly put Nathan through training and explain every thing he was showing him. All in all a very rewarding experience both for Nathan and myself. Would definitely recommend and we have booked again. Josh was excellent. V.good v. Professional.

ScS put on a fantastic football party for my sons 8th birthday. The team were very polite, organised and most importantly exceptional at engaging with the children in a fun and inclusive way, no matter the ability all the kids had an amazing party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the games. I cannot recommend ScS enough and I'm sure we will book another football party.

My son has been going to SCS on a weekly basis, he has also been to the camps on several occasions during holidays and he loves it! They also hosted a birthday party for him this year and it was brilliant! The coaches are amazing ( until they make me do the cross bar challenge!) How they remember all the children's names I do not know but they make it fantastic and we will always be back!!

I can’t recommend SCS enough
I can’t recommend SCS enough.
The level of coaching is just amazing. All coaches are fab with the children, they always keep them so engaged, and it’s fun, fast and there’s no standing around like with alot of other football groups.
The coaches really get to know all the children, and are so encouraging in anything they do.
My children also attend the football camps every half term too, and never want to miss any of them! Which says something, as they have tried a few in the past.
The cost is so reasonable and very competitive, which I do look for especially having 3 children that all want to go. Each day is full of fun games and competitions, even between the coaches which the kids love!

Great to hear they have so much fun with us. That's what it is all about! Looking forward to seeing you again at the summer camps. Thankyou for the five star review Julia.
The camp deserves 5*
The camp deserves 5* , the organisation/structure and coaching staff 5* The camp really develops and provides quality training, however , rewarding system is not something I would promote if i want to build champions. While inclusivity is a thing and we do have to show support in this matter, I don’t like seeing that those who work hard and are clearly good In what they doing are not getting credit and on the other side those that show no effort and lack sportsmanship will get rewarded regardless just so they feel better. In short (those that play good will stop doing it so become they’re not rewarded and those that put no effort and lack discipline will get rewarded and will stay at that level)
This would be a 5 start review but i had to take 1 star away for that particular reason.

Thank you for your review and the positives you have pointed out regarding our staff and our camps. We do our best to boost the confidence of all the children that come to our camps so they have fun and leave us smiling. SCS have always picked players at the end of each camp that have impressed, progressed or tried hard as a way of encouraging the children and give them something to aim for. We also feel this is a natural part of sport and teaches good sportsmanship.
