Exciting announcement - Sessions for 2 year olds and an all girls group starting January 2026
2-3 year old sessions and an all girls group starting from January 2026
We believe that our sessions need to be experienced by as many children as possible, as our unique and thoroughly enjoyable sessions will engage all children. We are also passionate about providing more opportunities for children to participate within sports and are being physically active, all within a safe environment that they feel comfortable in. Therefore, our passion and clear focus have led us to the decision to expand our current variety of session types from January 2026.
2 to 3 years - New age group starting from January 2026
Starting January 2026, we are excited to add new Football 2 Music sessions to our weekly programme, but specifically designed for 2 to 3 year olds. They are scheduled for every Wednesday 10am - 10:50am and 11am - 11:50am.
These new sessions mean we are expanding our youngest age group to start from 2 years old rather than 3, as there becomes more and more demand for toddler groups. These sessions provide a gentle first introduction to football through fun, age-appropriate and stimulating activities. We will start them on the journey of their physical, mental, technical and social development, as well as some early football skills.
Additionally, our unique and award winning concept of using music as a core element of every session, means that each activity will captivate the attention of every young budding footballer in an extra way, to the sounds of upbeat and high tempo music (fun for the adults as well as the children!) Each session there will be one activity that will feature the theme and song of the children’s favourite programmes and films, which helps to boost engagement and active participation throughout (our Spiderman and Go Jetters activities always go down well).
Parents are welcome to physically join in and support their little ones throughout the sessions where necessary. However, we do encourage parents to step away where possible, as we aim to introduce independent play to foster confidence, social interaction, and self-motivation in the children, ready for the transition into the next age group (3-4 years).
Most importantly, our focus is to provide Football 2 Music sessions that offer a unique and engaging experience for children, all within a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment. We have been doing this for children aged 3+ years, so now we are simply tailoring our sessions to allow 2-3 year olds to also thrive and develop every session.

Girls only group every Wednesday at 5:45pm from January 2026
Additionally from January 2026, we will be starting a girls only group for all girls aged between 5-9 years. This will run every Wednesday between 5:45pm - 6:45pm at the Woburn Sands Sports Hall (MK17 8GN).
As the women’s professional game continues to grow and becomes more popular within the UK, mostly from the success of the England Lionesses, more and more girls are now wanting to participate in football activities. Since 2022, 34,000 more women and girls are playing football recreationally (Sports England, December 2024). However, although girls can technically play within mixed gender groups until 18 years of age, the reality is that most girls stop playing football and team sports from a very young age and often do not want to mix in with boys. Despite the increase in participation, there is still 1.2 million fewer girls than boys playing football, and the overall gender gap is 22% fewer girls than boys play within team sport’s (Women In Sport, 2024).
This is why we believe that it is vital for us to offer a girls only group. We will both support the growth of girls participation within recreational football within the community, but also work towards closing the gender team sports gap. The combination of music being used as a core element within the session, mixed with the safe and comfortable environment set by our indoor venue and club coaches, means that the girls in this group will have the space and freedom they need to thrive.
