February Half-Term Soccer Schools
Join us for our first Soccer Schools of 2026! This February half-term, we will be bringing back the fun to Nottinghamshire as we host our popular Soccer Schools across the county.
Whether your child is looking to follow in the footsteps of their Forest heroes or just wants to stay active and make new friends, our FA-qualified coaches provide a safe, inclusive, and high-energy environment for all abilities.
What’s new for 2026?
For February, we will be introducing a brand-new venue, Kimberley Sports Centre, Newdigate St, Kimberley, Nottingham, NG16 2NJ.
We have also gone live with a brand-new booking platform, Abler. All of our programmes and events will be booked through the new platform.

Tickets are now on sale!

Goalkeeper Development Sessions takes place from 3pm to 5pm on Monday to Thursday.

We are now using the Abler app to make booking and tracking your sessions as easy as possible. This new booking system enables you to book sessions, manage your profiles, and pay securely online.
Do I need to create a new account ahead of the ticket release date?
Yes. Your previous BookWhen login will not transfer. You will need to create a new Abler account before booking any sessions. You will need to create a profile for each child within your account. We advise you to create an account prior to tickets going on sale.
Can I book for more than one person in the same transaction?
At the moment Abler does not support multi-participant checkout. This means you cannot book for siblings, family members, or friends in one transaction. The Abler team is working on this improvement and it should be available during 2026. For now, you will need to complete separate bookings for each participant.
Did you know there’s an app to book?
We encourage all customers to download the Abler app. Using the app, you can create player or participant profiles which make sign-up and checkout quicker and easier. The app also allows you to manage bookings on the go. Abler is also fully accessible on mobile, tablet and desktop.
