Where it began
Kick-A-Bout was established by David Allen and co-founder Colin Vince. While studying, both coached football part-time at Andover Leisure Centre.
About Kick-A-Bout
Built on a belief that children learn football best when they love the session.
Kick-A-Bout has been creating fun, engaging and age-appropriate football experiences since 2001.
Experience further afield
Coaching placements in the United States added new experience and ideas to their developing approach.
The same guiding idea
Sessions continue to put fun, involvement and age-appropriate development at the centre of children’s football.

The coaching philosophy
Purposeful play, explained in a child-friendly way
Stories and visual props help younger children enter the activity. Individual challenges and small-sided games help older children recognise football situations, make decisions and work with others.
