Inclusion Football - Kick Off Project

The Kick Off project started in 2004 as an initiative between WCFA, Local Police and Young Cumbria staff who were looking to engage young people on the estates in Kendal, Ulverston and Windermere during the lighter early summer evenings. It runs annually between the summer half term and the first week of the school summer holidays.

On each estate, football coaching sessions take place on a weekly basis delivered by professionally qualified WCFA coaches (funded by The Football Foundation).

The sessions are open to all young people aged 10 – 16 years and are supported by youth work staff who manage the programme and the engagement with the young people. This is a successful project and brings around 100 – 150 young people each year most of who do not belong to local clubs or engage in other sporting activity.
