My son goes to the Romford venue every Saturday and he absolutely loves the interaction with the coaches and the other children, I can really see that his confidence and skills have improved drastically since joining the samba soccer team. He's really keen and looks forward to his sessions and that’s all thanks to the amazing interaction and teaching skills from the coaches at samba soccer :)

Great fun

My youngest has only just started with Samba Soccer (3 weeks now), and its nice to hear him looking forward to it each week. He has really enjoyed his lessons with coach Jack and loves putting on his kit each week and learning about Brazilian players and skills.

Love the professional coaching!

My child has been doing samba lessons at the Romford venue for some time now, I absolutely love how confident he has got with the ball now and loves practising at home too. We also love how fun the coaches make it for the kids, always engaging and playing games with them. They always seem to care about the lesson rather than looking at the clock for when the 1 hour is finished. I especially loved the Pele commemoration they did by doing extra penalties in the coaches own time, just to recognise a great Brazilian footballer! My son loves coming to Samba Soccer and I can see the improvement in his skill! Thank you Samba x

I booked a trial for my 4 years old son…

I booked a trial for my 4 years old son in Marshalls Park Academy, Pettits Lane, Romford RM1 4EH, my son is really active,and i know that,that was the reason for the booking so he can run around.
So they separated the kids in 3 groups and some of the kids went outside and my son ran out with them as well but i didn't knew that he is not allowed outside with the bigger boys but i went 1 minute later because i was concerned that i can't see him and when i went out he was running in the middle of the field where he was not allowed and one of the coaches was running after him and cached up with him and grabbed him up by his clothes and was shouting with him.as soon as he saw me he changed quickly posture how he was holding my son but i already saw the whole situation.
When he brought my son to me he explained that he is not allowed outside since he is too young(information i wasn't aware of because no one informed me).I didn't said anything regarding his rude behaviour because i was trying to be understanding that he was there with a dozen of kids and he had to leave them and run after my son BUT, i personally think that what he did was totally unprofessional .
After i brought my son inside he lost his interest because of what happened outside and he wasn't engaging with the kids anymore so we stayed like 5 minutes more and then we left...
My main point is that is not about that my son was not listening to commands or he has education problems,NO,he is just 4 years old and he is a very good boy and listening to commands,he was just curious that's all.What i absolutely disliked was the method how the coach approached the situation and if you work with kids you shouldn't loose your temper,and i will not bring my son there again that's for sure.

Dear Mary,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologise for any distress or discomfort caused to you and your son during the trial session. We greatly appreciate your feedback as it provides us with valuable insights to improve our services.

We have spoken with the coach involved and he had mentioned that while his actions were inexcusable, he was preventing your son from running away from the group and towards a road. Our aim is always to create a positive and nurturing environment for all children, so we greatly regret that your son had a bad experience.

Once again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. Should you ever reconsider, we would be more than happy to welcome your son back under improved circumstances.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We wish you and your son all the best in your future endeavours.

Samba'licious

I would like to take the time out to applaud, recognize and appreciate all the hard work that is put together from the Samba Soccer School team, from backroom staff right down to the coaches, every single one of you are amazing people whom show a great deal of professionalism, dedication and passion towards your job roles. Myself and my son Micah would also like to increase the magnitude and velocity of our applauds to the coaches whom treated my son with the care and attention he needed to build his confidence on the football pitch. My sons appetite and enthusiasm to improve as a footballer grew week in week out thanks to the well-constructed activities the coaches put together week in week out to help challenge and build up my son's progress. Saturday mornings at Samba Soccer School was the highlight of the week for my son. Thank you ALL for all that you do and THANK YOU for giving Micah the self-belief he was lacking before signing up!!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

Micah's Dad!!

Hi Mr Douglas,

Thank you so much for your extremely kind words. We're sorry to hear that Micah will no longer be attending as his enthusiasm was contagious for all the students in the class as well as the coaches! We will pass on your message to the coaches; I'm sure they'll be very grateful for your heartfelt praise. We hope to see you and Micah again in the future.
Many thanks,

Soccer Samba

My son has attended Soccer Samba for quite a while now and his football skills and teamwork have come on tremendously. He loves the class and it’s helped his confidence so much. The Soccer Samba team are excellent. The coaches are very welcoming and experienced, the admin super helpful and always lovely to speak to! I really can’t fault them.
