Our Kickstart4Kids sessions at Goals, Dagenham will be restarting on Tuesday 16th & Thursday 18th of September.
The sessions run weekly during school terms, we do not run sessions during half term. The Tuesday sessions are for boys aged 12-18, and Thursday sessions are for boys & girls aged 6-12.
The weekly football sessions during term time provide children with an opportunity to stay active and have fun. Led by professional coaches, these sessions focus on skill development, teamwork, and enjoyment in a supportive environment. Perfect for young players of all abilities, Kickstart4Kids ensures a positive and engaging experience on the field.
The sessions are free, but there is a registration fee of £25 per term to cover additional administration and insurance costs. Once payment has been made, you will receive an email within 1-3 days to confirm your children's space at our sessions.

2025 Level Playing Field Annual Fan Survey launched
The 2025 Level Playing Field Annual Fan Survey has been launched, to collect insight on disabled sports fans’ matchday experiences.
Last year’s survey received a record number of responses, with results including the most common barriers to attending and services which would improve disabled supporters’ experiences.
This year, there is a more focused look at accessible parking, while other data will be compared to previous surveys to track ongoing trends. Disabled fans who have taken part in previous surveys are therefore encouraged to do the same this year, to help the charity monitor any areas of evolution or stagnation.
Overall results are shared publicly each year, as well as with clubs and governing bodies. Clubs also receive individual reports, with a more detailed breakdown of their specific areas of improvement and weakness alongside wider trends.
Data collected also heavily informs Level Playing Field’s own activity, with the results proving instrumental in identifying which areas require closer, or more urgent attention.
Level Playing Field chief executive, Owain Davies, said: “The results of our surveys are vital in providing us with undeniable data, to back up what disabled fans are telling us each week, which we can then use effectively to push for change.
“The data can also show us when individual considerations could be having a wider impact than previously anticipated and highlight areas which need action.
“Many clubs and governing bodies view their individual results as important resources to pinpoint concerns they need to address and track the positive impact of their developments.
“Our more targeted look at parking this year comes in response to the results of our previous surveys, with the aim to find out more on a subject which evidently impacts so many disabled supporters.
“We are thankful to all disabled fans who have completed our surveys in recent years and ask them to invite their fellow supporters to take part with them this year.”
The survey will be open for four weeks. If you would like any further information about the survey or assistance with taking part, please contact Level Playing Field.
The 2025 Level Playing Field Annual Fan Survey closes on Monday 25 August and can be filled in here. The 2024 results are available to view here.

The Trustees generally meet four times per year, with a typical meeting lasting between one, to two hours.
We are particulary interested in anyone who has the time and energy to become actively involved in the Trust's work in the community, or assisting in bid writing and fund raising.

Last Friday morning, the Sporting Memories group spent a gorgeous day at the County Ground Chelmsford as guests of former Essex and England Cricket Captain Graham Gooch, watching Essex play Yorkshire in the sunshine. Watching from the Graham Gooch Box, they watched Essex take a number of Yorkshire wickets after a lunch laid on by Essex Cricket in the Community. Many thanks to Graham, Brian Tunney, Pat Ward and Dan Feist in helping to arrange the day out for the lads and lasses.
The Daggers Trust will be working in partnership with Essex Cricket in the Community during the four weeks of Summer multisports camps at May and Bakers Sports Ground.
