I found Active Development when I was looking for activities for my older boy 12 years ago. He loved it and attended 3 years on the trot. Then years later my younger boy has just attended his first sessions and also loved it.  Both boys didn’t know any other children and were very young, but because of the friendly, fun, inclusive and attentive atmosphere they both wanted more. So thank you lads for setting up such a great active place for children to enjoy and grow.

I attended Active Development when it first started, I was there from 2012-2015 and it was amazing, the coaches and staff are extremely welcoming and supportive. Staff put time and effort into activities, help kids succeed, which makes for a fun and competitive experience!! My time at active development was something worth remembering (even if it was so long ago I’m now 17yrs!).

After his first day, he was so excited to tell me about the games he’d played, who’s team he was in, what happened, the goals and lifting the trophy at the end – living his best life!  He was buzzing about going back the next day and wanted to be first in.  He was tired out but enjoyed every minute. I’d highly recommend this to anyone who has a football fan looking for something fun to do over the holidays.

We were a little nervous on our first day, not knowing anyone or what to expect but the arrival immediately put us both at ease.  He was greeted with a warm welcome, everything was explained to him on what to do and someone took him from the registration out to the field to meet the other coaches who immediately involved him in a game with other children his age. You could see his relief at being involved straight away, no awkward intros, just come and play football with a coach overseeing each game.

“Thank you all the last couple of weeks. Finners has had the best time and has already asked when the next camp is! ⚽️🙌”

My son had the best two weeks with you all, so a massive thank you. He’s not done anything like this before and has already asked me if he can come next time.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you have done with Evan. I’m sure this had played a big part in him doing well (Successful football trial) and more importantly his confidence and happiness improving in everything. He loves your after-school club sessions and camps and gets so much out of it.

I can’t thank active development enough for the football holiday clubs they have provided over the years. Owen first attended when he was age 7 and every year since he has enjoyed being part of the sessions. The coaching, structure of the day and enthusiasm of all the coaches is amazing. Owen always leaves wanting more and the smiles on the children’s faces at pick up says it all.
