Wow, what a week... and what a day! 👊🥳

That's Week 1 of our Summer Camp complete!

Looking after over 50 children every day this week has been an absolute pleasure, and we couldn't be prouder that you chose us for your child's summer camp. From Ryan and all of the coaches, thank you for your support – it really does mean everything to us. ❤️

We always like to finish each camp week with a fun trip, and today certainly didn't disappoint! We headed to Flip Out Leeds, where the kids enjoyed trampolines, giant slides, assault courses, bouncy castles, football, basketball, zip lines, go-karts, and roller skating. It was non-stop fun from start to finish!

Taking 50 children on a trip is never a small task, but every single one of them was an absolute credit to themselves, their families, and our camp. The coach driver even commented on how respectful and well-behaved they were and how tidy they left the coach – that says it all. 👊👊

It's been a fantastic week filled with fun, laughter, new friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime.

At A1, we pride ourselves on being a place where everyone is welcome. Being inclusive is at the heart of everything we do, and we're proud to provide a camp where every child can feel part of the team.

A huge thank you once again from Ryan and everyone at A1. We can't wait to see you all next week for Week 2, where we'll do it all again! 🥳⚽️👊

Have a great weekend, everyone!

What a busy but brilliant first day of Summer Camp!

We welcomed over 50 children today, and what an amazing day it was! While we're known as a football facility, we offer so much more. From football to darts, soft play, inflatables, dodgeball, handball , mini games , trips , and everything in between, there's something for everyone.

Our camps are packed with fun, laughter, and opportunities to make unforgettable summer memories. With children aged 5–12 split across three pitches with others in their own age groups, it's the perfect place to make new friends, stay active, and have an incredible summer.

Our Summer Camps have well and truly started with a bang!

There are only limited spaces left for anyone wanting to book a last-minute place. Simply message us on our social media or give our reception team a call to secure your spot.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today. We can't wait to see you all tomorrow for Day 2!

💚 TWO LOCAL ORGANISATIONS. ONE SIMPLE AIM… HELP LOCAL FAMILIES THIS SUMMER! 💚

Last week was incredible. ❤️

We welcomed hundreds of families through our doors, met so many new faces and, unfortunately, even had to turn some families away because we reached capacity.

The feedback has been amazing, with many parents telling us just how much they appreciated having somewhere affordable to bring the children during the summer holidays.

That’s why we’re delighted to announce…

🌟 FREE SOFT PLAY IS BACK! 🌟

📅 Monday 27th July – Friday 31st July

This time it’s made possible thanks to three local organisations working together.

💚 Yorkshire Health and Sport – our charity that supports healthier, more active lifestyles for local people.

🦷 P R Jones & Associates Dental Practice – one of our fantastic local sponsors who wanted to help make this possible after seeing the difference it made to local families.

⚽ A1 Football Factory / Fun House Soft Play – providing the venue and welcoming everyone through the doors.

Together, we’re proud to offer another week where children can enjoy FREE Soft Play.

Opening Times

🕤 Monday - 9:30am - 6:00pm
🕤 Tuesday - 9:30am - 2:00pm
🕤 Wednesday - 9:30am - 6:00pm
🕤 Thursday - 9:30am - 2:00pm
🕤 Friday - 9:30am - 6:00pm

A few things to note:

✅ Maximum stay of 2 hours during busy periods to allow as many families as possible to enjoy the facilities.

📲 Booking is strongly recommended via Facebook or Instagram message.

🍔 Please do not bring your own food or drink. Our café will be open throughout the day serving breakfast, lunches, children’s meals, coffee, cakes and much more, helping us continue to provide opportunities like this.

If you’re looking for somewhere safe, fun and affordable for the children this summer, we’d love to welcome you.
