Children’s Football Coaching That Builds Skills & Confidence

First Kick Football was founded by passionate former players and coaches with a simple belief: every child should have the opportunity to enjoy football, develop their ability and discover just how much they can achieve.

Since then, First Kick has helped thousands of children experience football through fun, structured coaching, growing to more than 100 venues across the UK. Our football classes for children aged 4-11 combine professional coaching with an encouraging, enjoyable environment where young players can develop at their own pace. From children joining their first football class to confident players looking to take their game further, we want every child to leave the pitch with new skills, greater confidence and an even bigger love for football

Development Through Enjoyment

We believe children make the greatest progress when they're enjoying what they do. That's why development through enjoyment is at the heart of First Kick.

Our football sessions combine technical coaching, skill-building activities, challenges and games to give children plenty of opportunities to learn while enjoying their time on the pitch. Rather than putting unnecessary pressure on young players, our coaches encourage children to try new things, learn from mistakes and recognise their own progress. The result is a positive football environment where skills develop, confidence grows and friendships are made.
