For families who've booked: your first session, payments, kit, safeguarding and our policies.
Your first session
New faces, new friends and a ball at their feet from the first minute. Here's how a session goes.
- ArriveMeet and greetWhen you book a session or trial, your coach is told you're coming. They'll be looking out for you, welcome your son or daughter in and show them where to go.
- Warm-upStraight into itActive from the minute they arrive: movement games, ball mastery, a competition or straight into matches. Once they're moving, the nerves soon go.
- Focus of the weekLearn something newEach session is built around one of our 5 pillars, like 1v1s, ball mastery or passing and receiving, so every player goes home a bit better.
- Game timePut it into playHigh-intensity matches to try out what they've learnt, with the coaches teaching them in a game situation.
- FinishHigh fivesHigh fives all round to finish. Your coach will be there to tell you how they got on and answer any questions.

Payments & FAQs
How do I pay?
Weekly programmes are a monthly subscription through ClassForKids. All payments go through ClassForKids; we can’t take cash or bank transfer.
Are there booking fees?
ClassForKids and Stripe charge platform fees, which are included in the monthly price.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes, 25% for the second and any further siblings. Once you’ve booked more than one child, we move you onto the sibling plan; the discount is applied after the first payment.
How do trials work?
Book a one-week trial through ClassForKids. If your child carries on, the subscription starts on the 1st of the next month, with a payment to cover the rest of the trial month.
To stop after the trial, email us at least 4 days before the next session.
How do Academy and Jets FC trials work?
Our coaches invite players to the Academy, and you can also ask for a trial. Jets FC places are by trial. Email admin@joshevans.co.uk and we’ll arrange one. If your child is offered a place, payments start on the 1st of the following month, with that first payment also covering the rest of the month they joined.
Places depend on space in each age group. If there isn't one right now, we'll keep your child's details and be in touch when one comes up.
How do I cancel?
We need one month’s notice, by email to admin@joshevans.co.uk. The month starts from the day we receive your email. Notice given to a coach can’t be accepted.
What if my child is injured?
If an injury means a long break, email admin@joshevans.co.uk. We may pause payments while they recover, starting from the following month.
What if a session is cancelled?
Sometimes a venue cancels, for example because of the weather. We don’t refund or credit cancelled sessions, but we’ll try to add a catch-up session, usually at the end of the term or season.
What happens over the summer?
The coaching year runs from September to the second week of July. Payments pause in August and restart on 1 September, unless you email admin@joshevans.co.uk to cancel.
How do holiday camp bookings work?
Pay when you book through ClassForKids; your payment secures the place. Cancellations need 48 hours’ notice.
My child is new to football. Can they join?
Of course. All abilities are welcome at every stage of the Player Pathway.
