Find out how Kick-A-Bout football coaching works for preschool and school-age children, what to bring and how to choose a local class for your child.
What makes it different
Younger children learn through stories, pictures and props, with every part linked to a football activity. Older groups move into purposeful technical challenges and realistic small-sided play.
Choose the right stage
Kick-A-Bout’s overall age range is approximately 3–14. Each venue has its own age groups, so check the live timetable before choosing a class.
Imaginative games, stories and visual props introduce younger children to the ball. Activities help them practise movement, coordination and confidence through play.
Children can join without previous football experience. If your child feels shy or you are unsure about a group, speak to your local coach before the first visit.
Older players develop their skills through ball-based challenges, 1v1 and 2v2 situations, and small-sided games. Sessions encourage decision-making, teamwork and plenty of involvement.
Classes can suit children starting football as well as those who already play for a team. Choose the age group shown in your venue’s current schedule.
