Premier League Kicks uses the power of football and sport to engage and inspire young people aged 8 to 18. Delivered by Chesterfield FC Community Trust in partnership with the Premier League, the programme creates safe, inclusive spaces for young people to play sport, build confidence, and access personal development opportunities.
Kicks is designed for young people who may be at risk of anti-social behaviour, youth violence, or social isolation. It targets high-need areas and offers a positive alternative during key times of the week, often in the evenings when young people are most vulnerable.
Through free weekly sessions, workshops, mentoring, and national competitions, Kicks supports participants in making positive life choices and reaching their full potential.
