ABOUT FOOTBALLTOTS

Our goal is simple: to help young children develop new physical skills, enjoy social interaction, and boost their confidence through football-themed games and activities.

FootballTots is the USA’s first football-specific play program for children aged 2 to 5. Our structured, non-contact classes are dynamic and full of excitement, with a focus on giving children a positive, fun-packed introduction to sports and physical activity.

FootballTots takes children on a journey of sporting imagination with coaches who will motivate, inspire and support them every step of the way.

Our classes build strong foundations for whatever is next on a child’s sporting journey as the skills they learn here have a benefit far beyond football.

FootballTots’ parent-participated toddler program provides a fun environment for children aged 2 to 3½ to learn new skills, make friends and have an exciting but safe introduction to football.

In the slightly older age group, we encourage parents of 3½ to 5-year-olds to watch and cheer from the sidelines as their FootballTots move up and become more independent.

And while we love to get a little competitive, we say that at FootballTots success is measured in smiles, not on a scoreboard!

Max and Steve

Steve brings corporate acumen with a passion for sports, fitness and coaching, to spearhead the successful launch of FootballTots in the US.

Steve is an accomplished corporate executive with over 20 years’ experience in strategic management and business development. Having worked in senior roles across the insurance industry, he is adept at building solid relationships, identifying opportunities, and delivering exceptional customer service – all ideal qualities for his role as the head honcho at FootballTots.

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Steve is also a family man who enjoys keeping fit and loves the great outdoors. His passion for giving the next generation a great start on their sporting journey has made FootballTots one of the most significant franchise prospects in the US.

Back in 2006, Max started a business coaching rugby skills to kids in a park near his home in the UK.  Now, over 350 franchisees and more than 85,000 children are enrolled in Rugbytots across the world!

For years, Max has loved the NFL and the entertainment football provides, and had friends in the States who share his passion for the game. The explosion of Flag Football and the sight of children playing a non-contact version of the sport sparked conversations with Steve that resulted in the launch of  FootballTots.

Max’s experience in creating sports programs for young children and helping franchisees grow successful businesses has helped FootballTots hit the ground running.

We’ve successful pilot operations in Charlotte (where our head office is based) and Washington DC. More locations are launching soon, but we aspire to grow across the nation so there’s plenty of scope for you to get involved!
