Our Story

The story so far

It might shock some of you to know that our two founders are females.

At this point there may even be a few of you thinking,‘ what on earth do two mums, however sporty, really know about the cut and thrust of the world’s finest sport?’

OUR FOUNDERS' RIPOSTE WOULD BE THIS:

Even though today football is a universal language, it’s probably fair for you to assume that:

• Neither of us has ever owned a pair of our own shin pads or goalie’s gloves
• We don’t have any impressive stud scars on our legs and
• We can’t even tell you who won the FA Cup back in 1953

We are however two hard-working mums who know all about the day-to-day adventure of keeping our children suitably stimulated and entertained.

Although Little Kicks was born out of our deep-seated frustration concerning the serious shortage of invigorating activities for enthusiastic pre-schoolers, we’ve always made sure that we didn’t let our new footy business sweep us off our feet.

To use that well-worn football cliché we decided early on to play to our strengths. This involved speaking to people who really knew their stuff, building a brand around ‘fun first’ and only recruiting enthusiastic, child friendly coaches with a first class grasp and love of all things football.
