Our Story

Little Legs motto is "learn through football" 

 
Formed & launched in 2018 , the very first Little Legs centre was opened in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales.. After a very successful launch, Little Legs now provides football coaching to hundreds of children aged 18 months to 11 years of age every week across 4 centres around the county of Pembrokeshire. 

Whilst our sessions are based around football the benefits to children taking part extend far beyond improving football skills. All of our sessions are linked to the early years foundation stage schools curriculum. Children in your sessions will develop their social skills through interaction with their peers. Communication skills improve along with motor and general life skills resulting in a child’s improved health and increased overall confidence.

Little Legs sessions are aimed at children from 18 months up to 7 years, splitting sessions into five age groups. In addition, participants can progress to LL Development Centres continuing the child’s development up until the age of 11. Whilst football is the basis for all the sessions, the aim of Little Legs is the all-round development of children and each of the age specific session. 

Meet The Founder Mark Murison 

As a qualified UEFA A licence football coach and more importantly, the father of young children, I am acutely aware that children will only willingly take part in activities if they are enjoying them. That is why every session that we offer is focussed on fun.

Over the many years of coaching I have gained extensive knowledge of how children learn and develop through football. I am pleased to have designed a unique programme to promote positive benefits for both you and your child. 

"I remember the exact moment that the Little Legs idea was formed, my then 4 year old daughter loved learning football so I attempted to get her into classes. After attending a few different options it dawned on me that there was no option out there for the development of a child through each age range. It was important to me that my daughter had the best opportunity to learn football but also to develop other  important life skills in a fun and structured way. Now I have founded Little Legs I am determined to provide the opportunity for every child to "learn through football" which finds a way to combine the enormous benefits that football brings with the importance of developing important language, social and gross motor skills".
