Football for kids

Football is one of the UK’s most popular sports, so it’s unsurprising that many kids get the bug from a young age.

And whatever your child’s age and stage, there’s a whole host of opportunities to get stuck into the beautiful game.

If you’re in search of places to play football for kids in your area, we’re here to help with our guide to what’s on near you.

We’ve rounded up details of clubs and classes for absolute beginners, from the toddler stages up: perfect if your child is just finding their feet with a ball.

If they’re already a keen player and are looking to join a local team, browse our directory to see what’s available in your area, with football clubs for boys, girls and mixed teams of all abilities. Who knows: your child could even end up being the next Harry Kane!
