Everything you need to know
Are you interested in learning more about football in general, or about what I do at Regans Soccer School specifically? Here you’ll find a number of Frequently Asked Questions about my services and offerings. I tried to include a comprehensive variety, but if you still have questions, please get in touch directly and I will answer them ASAP.
CAN ANYBODY JOIN REGANS SOCCER SCHOOL?
Yes, Regans Soccer School is open to children of mixed genders and of all abilities, from the ages of 4-15 years old. Some sessions will be more selective than others based on association with the school, please contact us for more information about a session which you are interested in.
WHAT SESSIONS DO YOU RUN?
We offer a variety of sessions for children with mixed abilities. Sessions include: developmental football, futsal, community football and a pathway to Grassroots football. Please visit the 'Sessions' page in the menu for further details.
WILL MY CHILD BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES?
Yes. We have a strict policy in ensuring that a coach is present for all the sessions, and in no circumstances the children will be left alone without an adult present. Sometimes it is not possible to supervise the children if they need to step out of the session either to get a drink or to use the bathroom, so if you are worried about your child stepping out of sessions, we advise for parent supervision.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
Our sessions are based around the South East London area. They are not all at the same address so please check the address details for the sessions prior to attendance.
CAN I STILL PLAY FOR MY FOOTBALL CLUB WHILST TRAINING WITH REGANS SOCCER?
Yes. You can play for any team whilst training with us as long as the team you are playing for allows training with others. We would suggest contacting the Coach of your current team to confirm.
HOW DO I SIGN UP?
Signing up to us is very simple. Some session do not require pre-booking and you can show up on the day. Some sessions you can contact us for us to book you in, or if we are fully booked we may place you on a waiting list. This is to ensure that some venues do not become over crowded and are kept to a safe limit of players. For further details please see the 'Sessions' page.
HOW DO I PAY?
We use a variety of different payment options. Some sessions are also free of charge and you are not required to pay for attendance. Some sessions accept cash or bank transfer at the entry and some are pre-booked and pre-paid via our payment and booking app. Please see the 'Sessions' page for more details.
WHAT FOOTWEAR DOES MY CHILD NEED TO WEAR?
We ask that all children are wearing the appropriate boots for the floor type of the session. If sessions indoors - please wear indoor football boots, and if sessions are on an AstroTurf or grass pitch, for appropriate studded boots to be worn for the pitch type. Multi Ground (MG) boots are a safe option for grass areas as they are allowed on most types of pitches.
WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BRING?
Please ensure all children are wearing the correct footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather. Bring along a water bottle and shin pads, and if the weather permits a sunhat and sun cream. If it is raining, please have a rain coat or appropriate cover as our outside sessions carry on weather it rains or shines.
DOES MY CHILD NEED TO WEAR A REGANS SOCCER SCHOOL KIT?
Some sessions in the community do not require for your child to wear our kits and your child is free to express themselves with their favourite teams or simple training kits. Other training sessions may require you to purchase a training t-shirt or kit. Please contact us for further details if you are worried about what to dress your child in for the sessions.

If your child is signed up to other sessions with us, you will be placed in a WhatsApp group for communication purposes and everything will be communicated through there.
