Premier League Kicks

Through the Premier League Kicks programme, Millwall Community Trust provides free weekly football sessions, youth work, mentoring opportunities workshops, social action and volunteering projects with the end goal of creating opportunities for young people to develop skills and improve their confidence.

The delivery takes place throughout the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Southwark and is aimed at supporting young people to progress into positive pathways such as grassroots football teams whilst also being involved in volunteering in social action projects and varying routes into education, training opportunities, and employment. 

The activities are split into age groups with the programme engaging young people  from the ages of 8-18 and that allows participants that attend sessions to meet other young people in their relevant age groups.

Activities take place in venues that are accessible to young people which include local housing estate ball courts, youth clubs, leisure centres and indoor and outdoor astroturf facilities. The football sessions take place in the evenings across the year.

Millwall Community Trust consults with participants and parent/guardians to help shape our sessions and how they are run.

“My daughter loves the girls' kicks football sessions run by Millwall. Each session is run with care and never lacking in fun. The girls develop their skills, are aware of targets they can aim towards and are constantly praised for their achievements. 

“The coaches are approachable, polite, and supportive to the girl's individual needs. I highly recommend the sessions to any girl who is wishing to improve her football skills or to gain confidence both on and off the pitch.” - A parent of a Kicks participant.
