Amazing football sessions!

When Elyas joined, he was nervous and didn’t have lots of confidence playing with new people. He had a bad experience in another football group and was anxious to start. However, over the past few months, he has grown so much in confidence and in skill! Coach Harry was extremely professional in his approach and made Elyas feel so welcome and comfortable. He always gives the kids so much encouragement without pushing them too much. He is fantastic every week and Elyas is always looking forward to Saturday mornings! Definitely recommend to all parents

Fantastic football coaching for all…

Fantastic football coaching for all ages and abilities. My son has come on amazing over the last 18months not only with his football but also his confidence, and made some fantastic friends, including the coaches who are all committed to the children having fun, both at weekly sessions and holiday camps. “I love Messys football, Coach Harry is lovely, kind, supportive, has fun and is the best coach!”

Great start to a football journey

Lucas started his football journey at Little Messys. He still loves it even though he is captain of a team now and trains as a goal keeper too. Great place to learn skills and make friends. Football camps are fab, I always collect a happy child after a camp day. We have had nearly every coach at different times at camp or at his normal sessions. Coach Harry remains a firm favourite, fair, enthusiastic, encouraging and fun. Keeps the sessions on track even when some children try to cause disruption. His engagement with the children on all levels is great. Top coach ☺️

Coach Harry Little Messys

Coach Harry is great and always offers advice and support to the young footballers in all his group. My son Ted is part of the 11-13 group and loves football Saturdays, this is down to Harry. There is always laughter every Saturday and Harry encourages the team at every opportunity. He has a great rapport with the kids and always questions them about the teams they support. He can also take the banter back when his team don’t so so well 😂😂 Thanks Harry - you do make the experience great for the team!

Great Football Training session…

My son was eager to start football training. I didn’t want anything too competitive or serious and this is perfect. He can practice and enhance his skills, enjoys himself each week, really pleased. Coach Harry was really welcoming and made an effort to make my son feel at ease. He made sure he remembered his name small detail but it is a great way to make someone feel more comfortable and welcomed.

Excellent messys and super coach Harry

Lucca has been going to little messys for 8 years now .he still loves going and it’s all down to the fantastic coaches esp coach Harry who has been there since day one.Lucca thinks he’s great and considers him as one of his best buddies! He looks up to Harry and he’s a great role model to have.Harry always has a laugh with the kids and makes the training fun.Lucca has improved massively every year with messys and as there is no pressure to be the best footballer all they want is for the kids to enjoy their football and learn the game at their own pace .
Lucca never wants to leave messys as he still loves it! Coach Harry is the best !

Wath Messy's Review

My son has been attending Little Messys for over a year now. He attends Monday and Tuesday evening sessions and has spent time with various coaches during weekly sessions and during camps at half terms. All the coaches are brilliant and I rate them highly. Coach Harry, however has taken the time to get to know and understand my son, and makes all his training sessions fun and meaningful! I know that when he is in his care he is safe, supported, having fun and learning too! He has made such brilliant progress! He loves coming to Messys! Thank you!

My son has attended Little Messys at Wath for a couple of months now, he is not the best skilled player but his coach Harry has always encouraged him and made him feel part of the team/session. He is brilliant with all the children, making sure they all feel included.

Coach Harry is the BEST

We have been bringing our son to Messy’s since he was 4 and he absolutely loves it.
Fun games and great interactions has brought him on so much in those years and prepared him to move into Grass Roots football. He loves it so much that he still goes now and he’s 9. We have had Coach Harry throughout who has been brilliant with my son and the rest of the kids.
