I want to book up for the whole year as my child loves attending FMC and we don’t want to miss a session? At present you aren’t able to book more than a half term at a time. All sessions are released in half termly blocks and usually we have a weekend off for all half terms and holidays. The sessions are released and bookable on our website once the previous block has finished. If you’re on our mailing list, you will receive an email to inform you that the new sessions are available to book on our website.
Are the sessions mixed with boys and girls? And what are the age ranges?
We offer both mixed sessions for boys and girls aged 3 -11 and we also offer girls only (aged 4 -10) sessions too.
What’s DSG/Pelo and Brightlands/Dulwich Prep? Some venues go by 2 names and people refer to the same place with different names so we try and alleviate any confusion by listing all the names that particular venue goes by. Please see the venues tab for more information including directions to all venues FMC trains at.
I’m lost, we’ve turned up to the session but can’t find you? We do move venues from time to time. The venue will have been on the confirmation email we sent out when you booked and if it has changed since the time of booking we will have sent an additional email with the updated venue details. So firstly, check you are at the correct venue, then head to the venues tab on the website which has concise information about where to find us? The coaches will be dressed in royal blue tracksuits.
Are the sessions indoor or outdoor? Most FMC sessions run outside throughout the year and we do still run training in wet weather and only cancel if the weather is extreme or pitch is unplayable. If we do cancel, we will send an email out and always update the homepage on our website, so it’s always with checking there if you’re unsure. To check which venues run indoor, see our Venues page https://www.footballmagiccoaching.co.uk/about-us/locations/
It’s raining, will the session still run? We will endeavour to run sessions in bad weather and will only cancel if the weather is extreme or pitch is unplayable.
We did not attend a session due to bad weather even though it went ahead, can we get a refund? We don’t issue refunds or credits if you decide not to come due to the weather. If you’re unsure if we’re running due to bad weather, we will always update the homepage on our website, so check there if you’re unsure. But as mentioned, we won’t issue any credits if you decide not to attend due to the weather but the session still goes ahead.
