Form a school friendship group
School-pickup places depend on having enough children travelling from the same school or from nearby schools on a practical route.
Families are encouraged to help form a group of approximately 6–7 children.
Your group can include:
For example, one child may play U7 while another plays U12. NimbleHits can add parent-delivered individual players from its player pool to complete the relevant soccer teams.
Pickup routes only proceed once minimum numbers, vehicle capacity and staffing arrangements are confirmed.
- Friends from the same school
- Children from nearby schools
- Siblings
- Children in different soccer age divisions
