Premier League Kicks

Premier League Kicks is a flagship programme established by the Premier League in 2006 to encourage sports participation in youngsters from some of the most high-need areas within local communities.

The initiative offers free workshops and football and sports sessions to provide kids with the opportunities and support to reach their full potential.

The programme encourages young people by getting them involved in constructive activities, such as a wide variety of sports, coaching projects, music, education, and personal development. Since its conception Premier League Kicks has seen communities across the country transformed with greater football and sports participation rates and authorities reporting significant reductions in anti-social behaviour in the same area.

The programme started with four pilot projects. These were based at Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Fulham, and Brentford. Since then, it has engaged more than 300,000 young people at hundreds of venues across the country.

It also encourages thousands of youngsters to find routes into education, training and employment with volunteering offered in multiple fields.
