Let’s answer your questions
You’ve probably got a few questions, so here are the answers to some of the most common we get. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please give us a call, and we’ll be more than happy to answer any queries you might have.
Our weekly football classes take place throughout the academic year at some of the finest indoor and outdoor venues across the London area. This means your child receives 42 weekly classes every year and with nearly 50 separate locations, there’s sure to be something close by.

Brazilian football combines passion, flair, and fun with a style of play often referred to as ‘Ginga Football’ that has brought the country a record five World Cups. Ginga translates literally as ‘to sway,’ and if you ever saw Ronaldinho dance into the penalty area like he was on a samba dancefloor, you’ll know what we mean.
Our classes incorporate all of these elements while placing a strong emphasis on close control and skills development. We aim to make our classes as fun as possible but also believe in developing technique and skills while building confidence and teaching about the Brazilian side of the beautiful game.
We welcome children of all abilities, and our four-ability level system means there is a place for everybody at Samba Soccer Schools. Our beginner level teaches children the basics, such as dribbling and shooting, giving them a solid foundation to build on from there.
Our weekly football classes are run by our qualified coaches who have all been through our extensive coaching education programme, which requires each of them to sit an exam and gain the appropriate qualifications. Each coach holds a minimum Level 1 FA Coaching License and has first-aid training along with an up-to-date DBS certificate.
Our football classes have a 1:10 coach-to-student ratio, meaning your child receives personalised coaching, which isn’t always the case with other football classes.
We know how important it is to find payment options that suit your situation. At Samba Soccer Schools, we run a membership programme for our weekly football classes – offering several flexible options, with a 12-month, 6-month, and rolling Flexi membership plan available to all our customers.
Our membership fees are spread over equal monthly instalments to make it more affordable and cost-efficient for you.

Four Levels
Our weekly football classes in London are all divided into four levels to ensure that every child plays within a group that shares similar abilities.
While we do group students by ability and not age, we find that levels usually incorporate rough age ranges – Beginner (4-5 years), Intermediate 6-7 years), Advanced (8-9 years), and Proficient (10-12 years).
Although we group players based on ability and not age, we have found that our ability groups loosely fit certain age groups.
