WHAT THE CROYDON & SUTTON COMMUNITY ARE SAYING ABOUT SKILLZ ⭐️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent Experience With Skillz
So we started at Skillz after trying out couple of other soccer classes and we immediately loved it. My son use to look forward for his class every weekend. The coaches were energetic and friendly. They would remain on their toes during entire class and made sure the kids remain indulged. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants their kids to excel.
Mayanak, Parent

We Started 18 Months Ago...
Our son started with skills 18months ago. And since then we had built a great relationship with the coaches. Eventually joined the sz little league and was with them 3 days a week, and he had a lot of fun. Parents are fab too. The skillz team, took our feedback seriously and we felt comfortable passing it on too. We are no longer with skillz, but our mention mentions them all the time - oh my old club this and that. So the positive impact is still there and we are thankful for that time.
Akilah, Parent

Fun & Engaging Pre-School Sessions
I think you’re the best coach ever, l’ve had a few before but I think you’re the top one in my list! You always teach me how to do everything In football. I’m looking forward for the next lesson. We all think you’re so amazing. (6 year old student)
Elizabeth, Parent (on behalf of their Superstar)
Our eldest boy attended Skillz with Ashley and the team on Saturdays & Mondays for 3+ years. We found Skillz to be an enjoyable and safe environment for children to play in as well as being great fun!
Carlton Cole – West Ham United LEGEND!
Ashley and the team at Skillz are truly fantastic! Skillz has helped my son Lucas grow with confidence and has been attending sessions for over 4 years. He now plays in their feeder grassroots football club SZ United FC.
He loves it and all of the coaches are approachable, friendly and high quality. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

GOT QUESTIONS? 🤔
We've Got You Covered ✅
What year groups do you work with?
We currently run clubs for boys & girls Reception up to Year 6, depending on the school’s needs.
These clubs are usually banded in year groups e.g. Year 1 & 2 on one day, Year 3&4 on another etc.
Or you can cover all age groups on one day and we provide the correct number of coaches!
Who handles the bookings and payments?
We do it all. Parents book and pay directly through our secure booking system on a monthly payment (after they have their own 2 week taster classes).
. We manage registers, reminders, and all parent comms — so your office doesn’t have to lift a finger.
For school football team training or other provisions, you can pay us directly if you prefer.
Are your coaches qualified and DBS-checked?
Absolutely. All our coaches are DBS-checked, first-aid trained, and experienced working with primary-aged children.
Safeguarding is baked into every part of our setup and sessions.
Some coaches are UEFA B licensed, some are FA Level 1. But all of our coaches are fully trained in "The Skillz Way" to ensure an amazing experience for all.
What if the weather’s bad?
Our clubs are never cancelled, even if you do not have an indoor space!
We are happy to safely play outdoors f the weather is bad. Equally, if you have an indoor hall we can adapt our sessions to this space.
And worse case scenario, we can use a classroom to do our indoor interactive Skillz sessions - including quizzes, reaction games and more!
