Loorimer Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Awright guys, I wonder if anyone out there has any experience of the Tynie Kickers at the academy? I'm thinking of taking my son along tomorrow morning but was hoping to make use of the one week trial before committing. So, the question I need answered really is, can I just turn up with my son in the morning and join in for my ?5 or do I have to register for a trial? I phoned the 'hotline' but it was just a recorded message. Also, any comments on how good or bad it is would be really appreciated. He goes to Socatots just now but is getting a bit more advanced. Cheers! ps, Not sure if this should be here or the Shed. Mods, please feel free to move it if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth1980 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 it does cost ?20 a month,but worth every penny i swear!!! i have been taking my son for the last six weeks now,and have decided not to go back.as the weeks went on the number of kids taking part has gradually increased.last week the session was split into four sections with around ten kids in each group.i felt my son was not getting much coaching and everyone was sitting around far too long waiting for a turn.as you can imagine kids aged 3/4 arent very patient and will tend to get bored very quickly.god im a right moaning git.

I totally agree with you point about the amount of participation which has come about due to the rising numbers. I have contacted the coaching staff and asked them to adjust the coaching ratios and the choice of activities to ensure the kids are more active and getting a sweat on their brow - ta for the feedback If it doesn't happen next week please shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
