For Churches

KICK…

OPEN A KICK ACADEMY

Do you have a heart for young people?
Do you want to use sport to reach this generation for Christ?

The Vision and Mission
Then, let us train, prepare, and ongoingly support you to do so! For over 20 years, KICK has been partnering with local churches across the country to bring high-quality sports clubs combined with a relevant Gospel message to reach young people. During this time, we have seen hundreds of young people make a decision to follow Jesus as we seek to reach a generation that has an increasing disconnect with their local church.

Training and Support
Utilizing our team of highly qualified, professional sports coaches, we will train you to be confident to run your own KICK Academy through your local church. We will then support you moving forward as we continue to provide relevant, topical training, as well as in-person visits to encourage and empower you as you seek to use sport to reach this generation for Jesus. On top of all of this, we will also provide you with an entire year’s worth of session plans, so planning and prep time becomes far less taxing for you!

The Academy Model
KICK Academies are often utilized to reach people outside of the church, but in some cases, they provide another relevant and engaging environment for those already part of the church. Our goal is to build more layers of belonging as well as platforms to hear the message of the Gospel.

Next Steps
There are four KICK Academy strands: Football, Street Dance, Boxercise, and Multi-Sports. However, we would be very happy to talk through other sports you may have in mind!

Does this sound like something you would like to talk through further? Then please email Andrew Martin here to discuss this exciting opportunity further.

KICK IN YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL?

Would you like to see a KICK Coach in your local school? We have a successful and efficient way of working with individuals to meet new schools. Are you a School Governor, a Parent of a school age child, a Friend of a Local Teacher, does your church have a connection with a local school? These are just some examples of people who have directly enabled us to work with young people. Contact Andrew Martin here to speak further about this.
