It helps them settle into school, make friends, and try new things without fear. At Chelmsford Football Kids, our Under 5s (Reception) football sessions in Chelmsford are designed not only to introduce children to football but also to give them the confidence they need to thrive.

A Supportive Environment

Our sessions take place on a secure, enclosed 3G pitch with a dedicated viewing area for parents and carers. This safe setting gives children the freedom to explore, take part, and grow at their own pace, while knowing that support is always close by.

Encouragement from Qualified Coaches

Led by FA qualified and DBS checked coaches, every session is built around patience, positivity, and encouragement. Children are praised for their efforts, not just their successes, which helps even the shyest little players feel proud of themselves.

Teamwork and Friendship

Confidence often comes from feeling included, and that’s why our activities focus on teamwork and fun. By playing games together, celebrating goals, and supporting one another, children learn that they belong — boosting both social skills and self-esteem.

Small Steps, Big Progress

From learning ball control to joining in group games, every achievement builds confidence. Parents often tell us how their children leave each session with smiles on their faces and a stronger belief in their own abilities.
