More about Premier League Kicks
Kicks aims to engage young people in constructive activities, increase playing and coaching opportunities, break down barriers between the police and young people and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.
Kicks is delivered across 15 venues in some of the most disadvantaged areas in our region. The programme addresses a whole spectrum of social issuing ranging from anti social behavior, bullying, and discrimination to police relations and hate crime.
Free football at key times identified by the police as being problematic. We encourage young people to get involved and invite their friends to join them – this means they are engaged in regular, fun and structured activity rather than having to find alternative ways to fill their time.
