Waverley 'Kickers' football is a wonderful way for children to develop new skills physically and mentally. In our sessions, the children will learn different football techniques which will help them to develop their physical abilities as well as encourage mental well-being. 

Our Kickers football is available to our Nursery 3 and Foundation children. 

I kick the ball... then stop! I balance on one leg like a flamingo.
