Sessions at Isca Academy, West Exe School, and St James School feature relaxed, small-sided football games and multi-sport activities. They are designed to get young people active, build skills, and help them reach their full potential within their local community.
The programme is funded by the Premier League Charitable Fund and supported by local partners.
Premier League Kicks helps young people stay active through a variety of sports and activities while supporting progression into positive pathways such as education, work experience, and qualifications — all while making a positive impact locally.
The programme creates opportunities for young people who are at risk of anti-social behaviour, youth violence and/or from high-need areas to regularly engage in football, sport, mentoring and personal development opportunities.
And this is just the beginning — taking part in Premier League Kicks can also open up opportunities to represent Exeter City in regional and national fixtures.
