Little Kickers started in the UK in 2002. We have two core beliefs that we take into every session. Firstly, we believe in something we call "play not push". It means teaching football in a fun, pressure-free environment. We want to give children a positive introduction to sports as a whole, not just football, so they're more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives.

Secondly, we believe football can be educational. Coached in the right way, it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colors and numbers, following instructions and playing as a team. With a network of 2250 coaches and over 300 franchises in 31 countries, we're now the world's biggest and most successful pre-school football academy and there's plenty more to come.
