What is
Mini Balllers?
Mini Ballers is an action-packed football experience designed just for little ones! Our fun-filled classes introduce the beautiful game to children aged 18 months to 5.5 years in an exciting, engaging way.
With a football, we create a dynamic environment where play meets learning. Through imaginative, game-based activities, children build confidence, develop essential gross and fine motor skills, but most importantly – have an absolute blast with the ball at their feet!
It’s the perfect start to a lifelong love of football while supporting key developmental milestones.
History
Founder
Ben Bowditch
Mini Ballers was established in 2014 by Ben Bowditch, a former professional footballer who played for Tottenham Hotspur and represented England up to the Under-21 level. Over a seven-year career, Ben earned 30 international caps and had the opportunity to travel the world through his involvement in the sport.
Driven by his passion for sharing his football experience, knowledge, and skills, Ben decided to start at the very beginning – working with toddlers and young children. This became the foundation for what was to come. Since then, Ben has built two highly successful companies: Mini Ballers and Bows Soccer Academy, both welcoming an impressive 1,000 players each week.
Founder
Jennifer Bowditch
After giving birth to their first child, Mini Ballers co-founder Jennifer Bowditch was ready to pursue a career that would fit around family life. With a qualification in Childhood Studies and over 10 years of experience working with babies and young children, Jennifer brought valuable expertise to the table. She had also previously run her own online children’s boutique and was eager to take on the challenge of growing a business that offered something different to what was already out there.
