About Little Kickers

Little Kickers is the world’s largest children’s football franchise, operating a global network that spans 26 countries with over 85,000 children participating in weekly classes. Founded in London in 2002, the brand has established itself as the UK’s leading football programme for children aged 1.5 to 8 years old. The programme is designed to provide a positive introduction to sport by combining high-quality football instruction with broader educational and social development.

Why Choose Little Kickers?

Investing in a Little Kickers franchise means joining an award-winning brand recognized for excellence in the children’s services sector. Franchisees benefit from a proven recurring revenue model, where customers pay a monthly subscription. This creates consistent, predictable income and fosters long-term relationships with families in your local community.

The network is backed by significant financial strength; many franchisees grow six-figure businesses within the first 24 months of operation. With profit margins typically between 20-40%, the model is designed for both scalability and sustainability.

Your Role as a Franchisee

As a Little Kickers franchisee, your primary focus is on building and growing your local territory. You will act as the business principal, responsible for the strategic and operational success of your area. Key responsibilities include:

  • Venue Management: Securing and maintaining relationships with local sports halls, schools, and leisure centres.
  • Team Leadership: Recruiting, training, and managing a team of energetic coaches to deliver the curriculum.
  • Marketing & Growth: Promoting classes within the community and managing social media to drive new enrolments.
  • Administration: Overseeing bookings and maintaining excellent customer service with parents and guardians.

While many owners start with a hands-on approach, the model is designed to allow you to transition into a management-focused role as your business expands.

Little Kickers provides a comprehensive support package to ensure you are never alone in your business journey. This includes intensive initial training covering every aspect of the business, from the curriculum to financial management. Franchisees also receive ongoing operational guidance, access to a suite of marketing resources, and regular technology updates to keep the business running smoothly.
