What we offer…
Please see the ‘Game Modes’ link at the top of this website for more information about how our sessions work.
Please note, we use birth year ranges (e.g. players born in 2014 & 2015) to determine the age of players attending our sessions. This helps to re-create the challenges street football presents when playing against and alongside players older & younger than you.

FUTSAL
Futsal, the close cousin of football, is a modified form of the beautiful game that is played indoors on a smaller, hard court. We do more of this as the weather conditions worsen.

FREE-PLAY POP-UPS
We aim to keep the cost of attending our sessions as low as possible but understand we are still excluding some children from football by putting a price on play. Our free-play pop-ups are designed to remove this barrier and give every child a chance to compete.

WHY ARE WE HERE?
SAFE FOOTBALL
There will always be a risk of injury when children play but we do all we can to be prepared for accidents & emergencies. All venues, both private & public, are risk-assessed. All staff are safeguarding & first-aid trained and DBS checked.
AFFORDABLE FOOTBALL
No sign-up fees, no subscriptions, no kit purchase obligation. The price of attending a Jumpers 4 Goalposts depends on the cost of hiring the venue, the number of staff required for the session, and the volume of players attending. Once the main costs are covered, we aim to charge as little as possible to enable as many children to play as possible.
ACCESSIBLE FOOTBALL
We select the location for a Jumpers 4 Goalposts session based on where the demand for more game time is coming from. This way we can bring sessions close to the players and make them easy to attend.
EXCITING FOOTBALL
Jumpers 4 Goalposts sessions are completely games-based, no drills. We keep the ball rolling. Players will be assigned to a team when they arrive. Each team will then compete for points. The team with the most points will win & celebrate with the Jumpers 4 Goalposts Champions Trophy. A winning team photo will be taken & shared with parents so players can remember their victory.
LIBERATING FOOTBALL
The most exciting players in world football possess unique abilities. These players mastered their unique abilities through hours & hours of individual practice & group play. Lionel Messi was not taught how to beat 5 players before rounding the keeper and slotting the ball into the back of the net. Xabi Alonso was not taught how to ping a 70m pass in behind Barca’s defence to land perfectly at an on-running Ozil’s feet. N’Golo Kante was not taught how to cover every blade of grass on the pitch and regain the ball 331 times in a single premier league season. These players had the freedom to follow their inner drive and attempt what they loved doing most over and over and over again through individual practice and in games.
The players that really want to engage in individual practice and develop their unique abilities will do it A LOT, often alone without being told to, and when nobody is watching. What many young players need, but do not have, is the opportunity to attempt what they have practiced in a real game with real consequences but without judgement from parents, coaches, & teammates. Our sessions intend to give young players this opportunity.
COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL
When you register, we ask you to tell us the confidence level of your child regarding playing football. This helps us to bring players of similar confidence level together so every child has a chance to feel an effective balance of challenge & success.
