YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

PREMIER LEAGUE KICKS
Our free to access Premier League Kicks programme provides young people aged 8 to 18 across Ipswich the opportunity to participate in sport in a safe and positive environment, whilst being able to voice their opinions, develop new skills, build friendships and make a lasting impact on their community.
Through our weekly sessions, young people have the opportunity to engage in regular physical activity, targeted educational workshops, social action projects, volunteering at Ipswich Town, and representing the club and Foundation at national and regional tournaments across the year.
Our Premier League Kicks programmes offer not only the chance to play sport, but also the chance for young people to thrive, develop and reach their full potential, with support from our dedicated team of coaches.
