Football Tots is a fun, structured early‑years football session at West Wight Sports & Community Centre, designed especially for children aged 2–4 and their parents. These playful, confidence‑building classes introduce little ones to movement, coordination and simple football skills in a friendly, supportive environment.

As one of the most popular toddler activities in the West Wight, Football Tots helps young children develop independence, social skills and physical confidence while enjoying active play. It’s an ideal stepping stone towards school PE, giving children the chance to explore sport in a relaxed, inclusive setting.

Fridays 09:45-10:30
