‘Kick Off’ will be delivered thanks to funding from the Premier League & PFA Community Fund and will aim to create opportunities for more adults to be able to play football at facilities which are close to home.

The project will be overseen by Nikki Lal, who has been involved with the Foundation for almost a decade and has now been appointed as Senior Grassroots Football Officer.

“Kick Off is a new project where Wolves Foundation are aiming to ensure adults have access to free recreational football across Wolverhampton, with the overall goal of having something available within a mile of anyone’s home,” she says.

Sessions aim to be planned so everyone has an opportunity within a mile of their home.
