Little Kickers started in the UK in 2002. Christine Stanschus was living in London at the time and spotted a gap in the market when trying to find pre-school football classes for her son.
Child obesity was becoming a hot topic and Christine couldn’t believe there weren’t pre-school classes to get young children involved in and enjoying sport, so she decided to do it herself.
With a successful career in investment banking rather than football coaching, it was clear she needed to play to her strengths in business and find football and developmental experts who could help her shape the classes.
It was a recipe for success. Christine focused on building a brand around “fun first” making sure she worked with experts in child development as well as FA qualified football coaches.
Together they created programmes that would deliver high quality football skills, combined with important pre-school learning concepts such as colour and number recognition, sharing, following instructions and using imagination.
With a network of 2,250 coaches and over 300 franchises in 32 countries, we’re now the world’s biggest and most successful pre-school football academy and there’s plenty more to come.
We’re constantly enhancing our classes with the help of our experts and we’re always happy to hear from people who want to become a franchisee and experience a better work/life balance while running a successful business.

Junior Kickers builds on the foundation skills and football basics learnt in Little Kicks and is suitable for children aged 2.5yrs - 3.5yrs old.
Using a familiar structure, children are challenged both physically and mentally.
Disguised Learning Through Play:
Play and games are at the heart of everything we do. Our games cleverly disguise the learning aspect so the children just think they are playing.
The more the children enjoy the games, the more they participate. This enjoyment leads to greater confidence, which in turn leads to self-initiated participation and independent play.
Key Features:
• Children are encouraged to play independently of the parent/guardian
• 45-minute class
• Weekly classes
• Two coaches for up to 18 children (max)
• Each new starter receives a football kit
• 4 unique badges to collect across the Junior Kickers programme
For those children who started in Little Kicks, independent participation is encouraged.
If your child has just joined us you may need to stay close by for a few weeks, but the ultimate goal is for children to be able to participate on their own.
The format remains learning through play and because children are allowed to work to their own ability, it is suitable for complete beginners.
Classes are £35 per month and run on a rolling monthly billing cycle, plus a one-off registration fee which includes your child’s shirt and shorts of £22.50.
