Please read our testimonials from schools we coach in and from parents/guardians whose children have attended our camps or after school clubs.
Mrs J King and Mrs P O’Connor, Co – Head Teachers at St Ann’s Heath Junior School:
‘Planet Soccer have worked in our school setting for a number of years and have been an absolute asset to St Ann’s Heath Junior School! Their professionalism, quality of teaching and the natural rapport that they have with our children has been outstanding. They constantly provide fantastic learning opportunities and their lessons are exciting, engaging and interactive where children are developing their skills through a range of physical activities.
Children throughout our school are familiar with the Planet Soccer team and their high quality lessons, professional and approachable attitude makes PE and Games lessons something that the children look forward to each week. They are thoroughly organised and are always willing to respond to the individual needs of the school including running lunchtime activities, morning and after school clubs and supporting the school with PTA events and local matches/tournaments. Planet Soccer’s natural enthusiasm to promote high quality sporting opportunities is evident through their passion and drive to engage all children in physical activity. They play a vital role at St Ann’s Heath Junior School and are very much part of our team!’
Elise Baird, Assistant Headteacher, Knaphill Federation of Schools:
‘We are delighted with the work delivered by Sports7/Planet Soccer. We have been very impressed with the enthusiasm and expertise of the coaches who have high expectations of the children. The children are well motivated and enjoy all aspects of coaching delivered in PE lessons as do the parents who use the afterschool gymnastic club. The coach, Aaron Broad, has built positive relationships with the staff and children. Would highly recommend!’
Michelle Vass, Headteacher, Tweseldown Infant School:
‘Planet Soccer are a fantastic influence on our children. They promote our school rules, support staff members and always use their initiative. We have the team in weekly to cover PPA at our school. They plan and resource their own sessions to match our curriculum needs. The team also assess and feedback to class teachers on children’s progress. We are delighted to have them as part of our teaching staff.’
Sarah Lynagh (Danetree Junior School)
‘We have employed Planet Soccer for the last three years to teach many of our PE lessons to provide PPA time for our teachers. Their coaches are extremely professional, work really closely with our teaching team to plan and deliver high quality lessons, and demonstrate an excellent relationship with all of our children. They really are ‘part of our school team’ and are very proactive. For the last two years, Planet Soccer have organised and run our annual Sports Day, preparing the children for events during their lessons. These have been extremely popular with children, staff and parents. We are also delighted that our sports teams have recently won the ‘AFC Sports Team of the Year’ award at the Epsom and Ewell Sports Awards, and Planet Soccer’s expert coaching has undoubtedly contributed to this success.’
Claudia Brightman, parent:
‘My two boys aged 9 and 6 love Planet Soccer and attend their after school and holiday clubs. Plus I think our last two birthday parties have been Planet Soccer! The boys always have a great time, but also the coaches know them so well and always make them feel like their ‘buddies’ and the boys love that. During the holidays they love to go and spend a few days at Boxgrove School and try and win the Trophy! The coaches are super nice and make them feel really welcome, my eldest son Archie always loves the football quiz “Guess the Player” and tells me off if I pick him up too early and his misses it!’
Rebecca Little, parent:
My kids have experienced Planet Soccer through after school clubs, school PE lessons, soccer holiday clubs and multi sports holiday clubs. They really enjoy every moment! The teachers are energetic, friendly and knowledgeable. Above all, they have a fantastic way of engaging the children in sports, teaching them new skills whilst showing the kids how much fun sport can be.’
Sam Seymour, parent:
‘Planet Soccer is a fantastic company and my son has enjoyed many years attending their Saturday morning Soccer School, After School and Holiday Clubs. The coaches are amazing and treat the boys & girls like family and are so grateful to have helped kick-start our son’s football career. Jo has managed to employ a highly dedicated and very friendly team who have been a pleasure to deal with, I would recommend them without hesitation.’
Charlotte, parent:
‘My son has been going to Planet Soccer for a number of years. He started at the age of four and still goes every holiday to the camps. He loves it. The coaches are knowledgeable of the game , know your child and always praise when praise is due. He always looks forward to tournament day. We would be lost without Planet Soccer.’

All the coaches are fantastic with the children & the development my sons have gained with their knowledge & skills is just wonderful. Thank you for providing an excellent club for our sons to thoroughly enjoy and also importantly feel safe in.’
