At BabyBallers we offer football and child development sporting activities specifically designed for girls and boys between 16 months and 5 years.

Back in 2015, a determined dad named Rich embarked on a quest to find football sessions for his two-year-old son, Fletcher. Disappointed with the local options, which mostly involved chaotic running and coaches attempting to teach dribbling, Rich had a brilliant idea: BabyBallers.

These 35 to 40-minute sessions were designed to engage children, encourage hand and feet coordination, and prioritise learning through play with shapes, colours, and numbers. As Fletcher grew, so did BabyBallers. Recognising the demand, they expanded to offer: BabyBallers, MiniBallers and Ballers.

Since 2015, BabyBallers has thrived as a profitable franchise model, boasting over 50 clubs in the southern UK, Belgium, and Australia. We are now looking to expand into Ireland and looking for a Master Franchisee to be responabile for developing the brand across the country.

“I’ve been a franchisee now for just over 2 years, initially I got involved because I had savings and saw it as an opportunity to put them into something which would be more profitable than sitting in a savings account. I quickly grew to love my little business and decided to take it on full-time, it was the best decision I could have made. I’m now my boss but also have the support of the Head Office if I need any help or have queries, it’s a win-win. I love meeting my new children and parents but also love seeing my regulars each week, the business to me is so rewarding and has so much to offer. For me, it’s given me more time that I wouldn’t have got in an office job and allowed me to focus on something I am passionate about.” - Shantelle Gamble, Multi-site Franchisee

“Becoming a BabyBallers Franchisee has been a really positive decision for me and my partner. It has provided an excellent second income for us without taking up a huge amount of our time. Over time my aim will be to run my BabyBallers franchises full-time, providing a strong income for my family and a really positive work-life balance. BabyBallers provides an opportunity to interact with the little ones and parents and it feels great to develop a real community feel within each club.” - Matthew Piggott, Multi-site franchisee
