We’re a friendly football academy for children aged 2 to 5 in North Wales. Our sessions are playful and gentle, and our coaches understand how young children learn and grow.
Running, balancing, kicking and stopping build the coordination and confidence that make being active fun.
Taking turns, sharing a ball and cheering a friend’s goal are first lessons in teamwork and listening.
Small wins, lots of praise and a sticker at the end of every month help a child feel “I can do it”.
Two-year-olds and five-year-olds play very differently. So we group children by age and shape every session around how they move, listen and learn.
First kicks and big smiles.
Our youngest players explore the ball at their own pace: rolling, kicking, chasing and stopping, through story-led games. Activities are short and instructions are simple. Parents join in throughout, so it’s a lovely way to have fun and bond as a family.
Learning to play together.
Children start to dribble, stop the ball and take turns. Games add a little more challenge, with simple rules and plenty of chances to cheer on their friends. Parents are still part of the action, so family time carries on.
Ready for the match.
Passing, aiming and short mini matches. Children practise listening to instructions, playing as a team and trying again after a mistake, all skills that help them settle into school. Parents stay close, cheering them on.
We wake up the dragon. Stretching, stomping and roaring to get little legs moving.
Dribbling, stopping and kicking, taught through games with names they’ll remember.
A short, friendly match where everyone touches the ball and every goal gets a cheer.
We end with a cheer. At the end of each month’s programme, your child earns a sticker for their sticker book at home.
Our promise to parents: small steps, lots of praise, and no child left feeling they “can’t do football”. If your little one needs a quiet minute or a cuddle with you on the touchline, that’s part of the session too.
Every game we play has two goals: one is a football skill and the other is a feeling your child takes home.
Our navy match kit comes in the academy colours. Your child’s first kit is included, and spares are in our online shop.
We’ll be at David Hughes Leisure Centre from January 2027. Session times to be announced, and members hear first.

The family behind the academy.
Cic Cymru Academy was founded by husband and wife Ellie and Brendun in late 2026, and we launch in January 2027.
It began when their eldest son turned two and they went looking for a local football class. With few options in their local area, they saw the chance to create a thoughtful first experience of football for very young children across North Wales.
That son is five now, with two younger brothers. Life as a family of five has shown Ellie and Brendun how much young children love to move, play and be cheered on, and why it matters to introduce them to sport early, in a way that feels like fun.
We’re parents first. Our own three boys are the reason we started, and every session is built around what we’d want for them: a warm, playful first experience of football where they feel safe, welcome and proud of themselves. We want other families to have the class we couldn’t find.
Brendun brings knowledge of football from the inside. A former semi-professional footballer and a UEFA-qualified coach, he now coaches a local under-6 team. He plans every one of our sessions personally, balancing movement, skill development and play, so that each one suits young children and leaves them wanting more.
Our aim is simple: to help more young children enjoy football from a young age, using fun and play to encourage their development. We open in Menai Bridge on 2 January 2027, and families can reserve a place now. Nothing is taken until membership opens on 1 January.
At Cic Cymru Academy, we create engaging, supportive sessions where children can build confidence, explore new skills and, above all, enjoy the game.
Little ones learn best when they’re having fun, so every session is built from games, stories and plenty of laughter.
A parent or carer comes to every session, because the best first football memories are made together.
Some children charge in, others hold on to a grown-up’s hand. Both are welcome here, and both will be cheered.
Safety and privacy matter to us. Every coach is Enhanced DBS checked, and we only keep your child’s health details if you say yes. Read our privacy notice.

Join the team helping North Wales’ youngest footballers take their first steps.
We’re growing, and we’re looking for friendly, patient coaches to help children aged 2 to 5 take their first steps in football. Our sessions are playful and parent-accompanied, so you don’t need to be a tactics expert. You do need warmth, energy and a real interest in how little ones learn.
Our first venue is Menai Bridge, and we’ll be looking for coaches in new areas as we expand across North Wales.
Tell us a little about you. We don’t ask for your date of birth, DBS or health details yet. Those come after we’ve met.
We’ll be in touch soon.
