Parent Reviews
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good training R#m!xž2024-02-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ciaran puts on fantastic coaching sessions that are positive, motivational and have been brilliant for my daughters development both on and off the pitch. Ciaran conducts the sessions brilliantly, with varied techniques throughout the sessions that keep it both interesting and montivational. I love watching the sessions and my daughter cannot wait for the next one! It’s been fantastic to see the improvement from everyone in such a relatively short space of time - keep up the great work! Dean Lindsay2023-11-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. L’entraîneur Ciarán est celui qui a redonné goût au football à mon fils qui ne voulait plus en faire en club. Il est très pédagogue patient encourageant et déterminé. Mon fils et mes filles l’aiment beaucoup et apprennent énormément auprès de lui à la fois sur les techniques du football mais surtout humainement et dans leur rapport aux autres. Ciaran sait fédérer ses troupes et créer une véritable équipe unie. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A A-H2023-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started playing with Star Footballers last September and is loving every minute. Coach Ciaran provides great professional training. He gives them a lot of direction And is fantastic at teaching them new tricks and building up their confidence on the pitch and off the pitch. Highly recommend Agnès Depardieu2023-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very positively received by our boys. Ciaran is very professional and evidently cares about the children’s progress. He is very good at explaining each stage of the sessions and always keeps parents /carers updated . Rfabs f2023-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I enrolled my ten year old son at Star Footballers just over five weeks ago. My son was quite late compared to most others, in finding his love of all things football. And though he loves the game, he can struggle with his confidence on the pitch. Since starting at Star Footballers, and after I had let Coach Ciarán know of Jack’s great love of football, but his challenges with confidence, through the weekly sessions, where the coach coordinates and clearly instructs the kids of each exercise. It’s thanks to this skilful session planning that these boys are really starting to feel like a team. The coach is also superb at motivating and encouraging each individual kid throughout the session, which has been paramount to my Son’s continued growth and development. Each week, I’ve watched my son’s confidence grow and come along. I would highly recommend Star Footballers with many thanks to Coach Ciarán for his continued support and encouragement.

My daughter started her football lessons as a beginner 4 weeks ago, I was initially apprehensive for her as some of the girls are bigger than her, although the same age. The coach made her feel comfortable and is always enthusiastic, encouraging, and patient. He remembered her name from the beginning which I believe makes her feel part of the team and important. As the weeks have gone by I have seen a big improvement in her physical stamina, agility, speed and confidence. I know there’s going to be more progression as the months go on. She really loves it, even when she’s tired she still wants to go which is great.. Daphne Byrne2023-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Ciaran at Star Footballers is very well trained. He is dedicated to putting the most into each session and each child within the teams. My son has taken very well to coach's patients and focused drive. My son has hearing loss and ADHD and this hasn't held him back within these sessions. He's very focused and willing to learn new skills and Coach Ciaran plays a massive part in that. Thank you for your efforts and we look forward to continuing Saturday football with you.
