FAQ

How do I pay?
Cash or cheque. I recommend that you do not send cash through the post.
You can post through the door with the application form. Cheques need to be made payable to LSterry Sports Coaching with the childs name on the back.
Cheques are usually cashed when the course starts.Please make sure that there are enough funds in your bank account during this time as any cheques returned will be charged back to you.

Or you can hand deliver. If you don’t have a form you will be able to download one from the course site and choose the course of your choice.

What if my chid has never played football before?
Dont Worry! That’s not a problem; all our sports coaching programmes have a very strong emphasis on fun and enjoyment. Players are put into age and ability to provide their experience enjoyable and fun throughout the course.

What to wear and bring to the session?
We advise that children wear normal playing kit i.e. shorts, socks, t-shirt, trainers, for indoors and suitable warm clothing for outdoors. During cold wet weather we advise waterproofs, jogging bottoms, sweatshirts, hat and gloves just so the children are kept warm. We also advise on a change of clothing on wet weather for children staying on the holiday courses. We recommend shin pads and football boots for children attending the outdoor courses. Please provide a drink (not fizzy) as children need to have a regular intake of fluids.

Do parents need to stay throughout the session?
No. After school children will be supervised. For after school activities parents will need to pick up their children after course has finished. Coaches are all CRB checked and first aid trained.
Weekly and holiday courses parents can stay and watch if they like.

Can I turn up on day of course?
We prefer to have all children pre-registered as it saves time and children are guaranteed a place on the course. We need to know the numbers for coaches and we also need to prepare a register for every course attended.

Do I get confirmation of my child having a place on the course? 
No. Unless you email for confirmation or ring. Unless you here otherwise, your child will be successful having a place on the course of your choice.

What happens to outdoor sessions if weather is bad?
Any afterschool will be held indoors in the school hall or gym.
Holiday or weekly outdoor courses will still run unless the weather is severe ie torrential rain/ snow
If unsure please contact us prior to the session to confirm.

Who provides the coaching?
