But if you want to give your little one the best possible start, structured sessions can make all the difference. At Chelmsford Football Kids, our Under 5s football sessions in Chelmsford are designed to be fun while also building the essential foundations for joining grassroots clubs like Writtle Minors FC.

Learning the Basics Through Play

Our sessions focus on ball mastery, teamwork, and confidence, all delivered through fun, age-appropriate games. By keeping activities playful and engaging, children learn key skills without even realising they’re practising — making the transition to grassroots football smooth and natural.

A Pathway to Writtle Minors FC

We run our U5s sessions in partnership with Writtle Minors FC, one of the area’s most respected grassroots clubs. This means children who attend have a priority place on the Writtle Minors waiting list, helping them move easily into team football when they’re ready.

Building Confidence on and off the Pitch

Grassroots football isn’t just about kicking a ball — it’s about being part of a team. By learning to share, communicate, and celebrate together, children leave our sessions with the confidence to thrive in a club environment.

Setting Up a Lifelong Love of Sport

The earlier children are introduced to sport, the more likely they are to enjoy it throughout their lives. By starting with our U5s sessions, you’re not just preparing your child for grassroots football — you’re giving them the tools to stay active, healthy, and happy for years to come.
