JCSS Playmakers
Fun, creativity and real skill-building in a safe, engaging environment. Imaginative skill stations like Goals Galore and Penalty Kings roll straight into small-sided games, so every session builds football skills and life skills, teamwork, communication and resilience, together.
Skill stations that roll into real games
Fast-paced shooting and finishing games, built to get shots off quickly and celebrate every goal.
One-on-one spot kick challenges that build composure under a bit of pressure, still all in good fun.
Everything from the skill stations put straight into practice in a real, fast-moving match.

What to bring
Where football starts to feel like football
Playmakers is built for 5 to 7 year olds taking their first real steps into structured football. Skill stations like Goals Galore and Penalty Kings turn learning into play, then roll straight into small-sided games, so every session builds football skills and life skills, teamwork, communication and resilience, together.
As with all JCSS sessions, parents and carers are encouraged to stay pitchside throughout. On the rare occasion the weather rules a session out, we reschedule and let parents know as early as possible.
Jack Walton, Founder & Head Coach

He’s coached with Liverpool FC’s International Academy, managed a university futsal programme, and worked with UEFA-licensed coaches developing young players from Spain and Portugal.

A few quick questions parents ask
Do we need any experience or equipment?
No experience needed, Playmakers is built for children taking their first real steps into structured football. Comfortable kit and trainers are enough (see “What To Bring”), nothing else to buy specially.
Can I bring a sibling along to watch?
Of course, we actively encourage it. Siblings are welcome to watch pitchside with a parent or carer.
Do I need to book every week, or can I just turn up?
Yes, please book in advance each week rather than just turning up, this helps us plan numbers and coaching for every session.
