Dear Parents & Guardians,
Thank you for joining our ESF Lions Football Programme.
We strongly recommend that you refer to your registration summary for important information (course name, location, dates, etc.) of your enrolment and also read through the letter below for programme-related information. A copy of the 2024-25 calendar can be found here.
General
- Your child will recognise our coaching staff as they will be wearing our burgundy or white coaching uniforms.
- At the start of each class, the coach will welcome the class briefly; take the attendance roll and highlight the main goals for the session.
- Young children concentrate better on their learning experience when there are few distractions; therefore, parents are advised to sit away from their child’s class
- Make sure that your child has a water bottle but we would not recommend eating a snack during the class as this raises potential Health & Safety issues, like choking.
ESF Lions Uniform (Football)
The uniform policy was introduced in 2023 and now takes effect from Term 2 24-25 (Jan – Mar 2025).
Students must purchase a set of ESF Lions uniforms (U7 – U14; Learn to Play levels) at a discounted price when they sign up for a Term 2 class. Uniform orders are accepted in two batches.
Batch 1: For enrolments received on or before 12 January, provided the register class runs as scheduled and is not postponed. Uniforms will be distributed starting on 4 February (Tuesday).
Batch 2: For enrolments received between 13 January to 9 February for any ongoing T2 classes. Uniforms will be distributed starting on 24 February (Monday).
Regular purchase: For enrolment received on or after 10 February. Uniforms can be purchased at regular prices through the School Uniform’s Website.
The ESF Lions uniforms are designed for physical activity, allowing coaches and ESF schools to easily identify ESF Explore students and provide assistance when necessary. Students are encouraged to wear the uniform to class every time.
The ESF Lions uniforms do not apply to the Academy levels. You will be contacted by the Programme Manager for more information on the team uniform after the course commences.
For more information on our uniform policy, please refer to this link.
***Important points to note***
Postponed classes: If a registered class is postponed due to low enrolment, the associated uniform order will move to Batch 2.***
Class switching: If a switch is made after the order cut-off dates (12 January for Batch 1 and 9 February for Batch 2), the uniform order cannot be amended. The uniform associated with the original enrolment can only be obtained from the originally registered class.
