Football Fun Day

Football Fun Day: children's football sessions in and around Colchester

Football Fun Day is a children's football coaching provider that began in 2011 running footballing school holiday camp days in Halstead. Since then the operation has grown: camp days now run at multiple venues during the school holidays, and the organisation also runs ten weekly term-time soccer schools. The stated aim is to introduce children of all abilities to sport, with fun as the guiding principle.

Sessions are open to boys and girls of all abilities aged from two and a half to twelve years. The format combines fun games and drills that develop skills before moving on to mini matches, and groups are split into age-appropriate bands. Coaching is delivered by qualified and experienced staff.

Weekly soccer schools and Mini Kickers

The core term-time offer is a set of weekly football sessions under the Soccer Schools banner, described as fun weekly term-time football. Alongside these, Mini Kickers provides weekly football sessions aimed specifically at pre-schoolers, giving the youngest children an entry point before they join the older groups.

Holiday camps and one-to-one coaching

During school holidays the organisation runs footballing fun day camps, the activity from which the business took its name, now held at several venues rather than the single original location. For children who want to work more closely on technique, 121 Coaching offers individual sessions with one of the coaches to improve football skills.

Football-themed birthday parties

Football Fun Day also arranges football-themed birthday parties for all ages, extending the coaching activity into private celebrations. The party service appears as a distinct line alongside the regular sessions and camps.

What families report

Testimonials published on the site describe children attending the camps and soccer schools for periods ranging from a few months to more than two years. Parents highlight the balance between fun and competition at the camps, the care shown towards the children, and the coaches' handling of the groups; one parent mentions a younger child due to start toddler football in October. These are individual accounts rather than a measured assessment of the service.
