PREMIER
Soccer
Premier Soccer - Sussex: incorporating Premier Mini Soccer School and Premier United FC. Nurturing talent & inspiring success in children through football.
Premier Mini Soccer School
The biggest soccer school in Sussex and one of the biggest in Britain, Premier Mini Soccer School accepts all children aged 4-13, boys and girls. With great sessions provided from our FA qualified coaches and a friendly feel to the school we are proven to improve the players performance.
8 teams represent Premier United on Sunday mornings who are formed from players from the Saturday soccer school but we also welcome all children who just want to train and cannot commit to a team. We have over 150 children every Saturday... Ages (10-14) 9-10.15am and Ages (4-9/10)at 10.15-11.30am. Prices are £27 for 7 weeks (£3.85 a session). Once signed to the soccer school every player is given a training top and you can buy a rain jacket and hat.
​
Training is held at the salts park in Seaford and all parents are expected to stand behind the safety barrier for child protection reasons and for the coaches to deliver the sessions.
​
There is a development class for extra training on Thursday evenings at 6-7pm for ages 5-8 year olds. We also have 30 selected players training at the same day and time 6-7pm in the Elite academy class. This is held at the downs leisure centre astro turf in Seaford. Please speak to James or Gary if your child would like extra training. There is a waiting list for this class.
​
We have links with Crystal Palace FC, Brighton and Hove Albion FC, Fulham FC, Gillingham FC, West Ham United FC and Lewes FC.
Premier parties are also very popular for your children to have that extra special birthday party with their friends. Loads of fun and games with prizes to be won!! If you would like to hire a coach for your child's party please let us know a month in advance.
