Bookings must be made in advance to join our registers initially for a trial period before joining our registers as a regular member.
Click on the book now link on the home page which will provide link for our waiting list/ offers trial or join register functions or use the following link
https://soccer-starts.class4kids.co.uk
If after the initial trial period you would like to commit to fully join our club as a regular then please follow guidance sent from our Head Coach Bryan Robertson on how to join registers as a member via our subscription system which will be sent via email during your trial period with us.
Email me on [email protected] if you wish to join any of the midweek classes I run in conjunction with other organisations.
(Home page is www.soccerstartsfootballacademy.co.uk and the icons for booking are at the top right hand side of the page)
Once you decide to join what is process.
After you have had a trial period you can then join as a regular member by communicating to us via a reply to any email or booking request via the system we send out and following the instructions and setting up your subscription.
We run an “on-going rolling programme” for our lessons. We value your custom so it is only right that you do not lose your space because you simply forgot to rebook.
We reserve all trialists a provisional space on our system to join as a regular member. We do this as its only right children who have attended as a trialist get the chance to join from the week that follows as a regular if they have enjoyed their initial trial period.
If after your trial period you want to continue you follow guidance sent out via Bryan Robertson our head coach via email our the class for kids booking system.
If you don’t want to continue after the trial period all you need to do is drop us an email on [email protected] and let us know.
If your a regular member and you have decided you no longer want your Childs regular space for future months and would like to “opt out” all you have to do is email and tell us of your decision, we shall email you back to acknowledge your decision and when your final payment runs out/ covers your child attending sessions on our registers.
All we ask is that you provide us 14 days notice as a minimum before the next date your due to pay (example emailing us 10th September with notice would mean we would not charge for Octobers fees due).
Children are able to attend any sessions covered by your last payment during any notice period. (example if paid on 1st September you would then be able to attend any sessions delivered in September even though you provided us notice during that month that you dont require the space in the future months)
To avoid dispute please note that we can only accept any request to opt out in writing via email. If this is not received then you will be charged every month as normal until notice is given to remove your child from the register.
If the classes are midweek classes I may be running these sessions in line with school term or in partnership with another organisation. If that is the case prices, how you pay and who you pay may differ and will be explained when you send an email to [email protected]. All our weekend classes are on all year round payment system via the book now function on the home page and class for kids system.
