Next Level Little Ballers

Next Level Little Ballers are fun football based sports classes for girls and boys aged 2 to 4 years.

Motivated by the lack of inclusive family-friendly sporting activities in Rhondda Cynon Taf, we developed a simple and effective programme which aims to engage families, promote family time and develop deeper connections. The program has been designed to cater to the needs of families in the region, providing a unique opportunity for both children and adults to participate in sports and recreational activities together. Our initiative seeks to create a supportive and welcoming environment where families can bond, stay active, and enjoy quality time with one another. By addressing the gap in family-centered sporting activities, we aim to foster a sense of community, well-being, and togetherness among the residents of Rhondda Cynon Taf.

We currently have classes based in the Play Yard, Ynyswen and Rhondda Fach Leisure Centre, Tylorstown.

Great session! The interaction and encouragement to participate by the coach was great. All children, regardless of their ability were encouraged and rewarded. Lovely to see so many happy children!

Creating a supportive environment for children to learn and grow is at the core of our approach. We believe in fostering a love for learning through engaging activities that promote fun, agility, and communication skills. By maintaining a semi-structured format, our sessions provide the flexibility for both free play and directed activities, ensuring a balanced and enriching experience for children. Moreover, our progressive and repetitive sessions are carefully designed to support the development of various skills, encompassing not only gross motor skills but also cognitive capabilities such as learning to identify and name colors. This emphasis on skill development within a nurturing and pressure-free setting reflects our commitment to holistic and age-appropriate learning experiences for children.

The limited number of sessions is a deliberate decision aimed at ensuring that our esteemed coaches can provide a tailored program that effectively meets the needs of all participants. This approach enables us to maintain a high standard of personalised attention and guidance throughout each session, allowing for a truly valuable experience for all involved. We highly recommend block booking sessions as a proactive measure to secure your spot and avoid potential disappointment due to session availability. This not only guarantees your place in the program but also provides you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have secured your preferred schedule.

I want my child to gain interest in football and play with a ball – the sessions did that!
