Our 8-year-old son absolutely loves attending Step Into Football – rain or shine, he never wants to miss a session! The training is the perfect balance of fun, intuitive learning, and solid technical development. It’s amazing to see how much he enjoys playing and growing alongside other like-minded kids who share his passion for the game.
The coaches are fantastic – not only are they incredibly knowledgeable, but they also know how to bring out the best in each child. They create such a positive and encouraging environment that every session ends with huge smiles all around. Our son has made some wonderful friends through the camp, and it's become a highlight of his school holidays. We couldn’t recommend Step Into Football more highly!

My child has an incredible time at the Step Into Football Camp every time he goes. The atmosphere is always both fun and supportive, and it was clear from day one that the coaches truly cared about his development. My son is often with coach Doz, who is absolutely fantastic — his energy, patience, and knowledge of the game have made a lasting impact. Not only has my child improved technically and gained confidence on the field, but he also comes home excited to share what he has learnt. I'm so grateful for the encouragement and guidance provided by the coaches, and we can’t wait to come back for the next camp!

My son Rupert has attended many football camps over the years, but none quite like Step into Football. From the moment I picked him up after his very first session, I knew this was something special.
Right from drop-off, you're greeted by warm, welcoming, academy-approved coaches who instantly put the kids at ease. Whether it's their first time or they've been before, the coaches always remember their names — which really makes a difference.
What I appreciate most about Step into Football is how they make it enjoyable for every child, regardless of age or ability. It’s all about fun, confidence, and feeling part of something great.

James and Doz are the school holiday heroes that every parent needs! My two sons, aged 6 and 8, absolutely love going to Step Into Football! The days are so much fun and in their words "It's the best camp ever!"
As a Mum, I'm relaxed, knowing that my boys are in great hands, taken well care of, safe and happy. Would highly recommend!

My son can’t wait for half term to come around so he can Step Into Football. Well organised and good communication right from signing up to the days of the camp. Doz and James are great with all ages of kids and have a great understanding with them. At the end of the camp, my son always comes home with a smile on his face, asking to go again. Every child at pickup comes off the field smiling and happy, which is lovely to see.
Step into Football is a great place for them to make new friends and build their confidence.
The feedback message you get from them a couple of weeks after the camp finishes, about my son is a great touch.
James & Nic
My boys had an amazing time at Step Into Football. Doz, James and the rest of the coaches are friendly yet professional, approachable and, most importantly for our family, SEND inclusive. The boys came away with extra skills they could use in their grassroots football and gained experience playing in other positions. I would recommend them to anyone.

Jude (aged 10) has been attending Step Into Football recently. It’s his favourite football camp, and he looks forward to it during each school break.
The coaches are approachable, professional, and passionate about the delivery of the sessions. They keep it fun but also progress individual skills and technique while also providing feedback to parents.

My grandson has been attending Step into Football sessions every school holiday for some time now, and I can not recommend it highly enough.
James and Doz made him welcome from the get-go and have dealt brilliantly with his anxieties and fears. He always comes out of the sessions absolutely full of what they’ve done and who’s won the ‘World Cup’! It’s always about fun and participation and is exceptionally well run.
From a grateful grandma, who finds it hard to entertain a lively boy in the holidays!

Harry has always felt welcomed into the Step Into Football camp; from the first attendance, he ran straight off when I dropped him and never looked back!
On collection Harry always leaves covered in mud with a buzz, whether it's from winning the trophy or making it to the penalty shootout final! He makes friends through the day and is always pushed with his abilities to make the most of his time there.
Thanks to Doz and James for pushing the camp and making it happen. Both guys are fantastic with the kids and well-experienced coaches, with Doz being Harry's 5-star skiller whom he always looks up to!
See you for the next one. I would highly recommend this camp to anyone. Please bear in mind I travel all the way from Bradford to come to Huddersfield with peace of mind that Harry will have fun and be cared for throughout the day.
