We saw what was missing in youth football: coaching that puts confidence before competition. So we built something better.
It started with frustration. We watched kids at local clubs get shouted at for mistakes. We saw children sitting on the sidelines because they weren't "good enough." We heard parents say their child "just isn't sporty" after one bad experience.
We knew there had to be another way. Football should be the place where kids find their confidence, not lose it. Where making mistakes is how you learn, not a reason to be benched. Where "winning" means going home happy, not a score on a board.
So in 2024, Take The Next Step 121 was born. We built the football sessions we knew were missing: small groups, patient coaches, games instead of drills, and an absolute commitment to making every child feel like a superstar.
"Every child who walks through our gates deserves to leave feeling better about themselves than when they arrived. That's not a goal - it's a promise."
- The TTNS 121 Team
Real principles we live by every session.
Kids learn through play, not lectures. Our sessions are 90% games because that's how football skills actually stick - and how confidence grows.
We care for our players in everything we do. From match observations and progress reports to ongoing communication with parents - every player matters.
We measure success in high-fives given, not goals scored. Football is our tool for building confidence, resilience, and genuine friendships.
Whether it's their first time kicking a ball or they're already match-ready, every child finds their place here. No try-outs. No rejection.
We don't just say we're qualified - we prove it. Every coach, every session.
All coaches are FA qualified to the highest standards
Rigorous background checks renewed annually
Trained specifically for child emergencies
Complete liability and accident coverage
