About Little Kickers

Little Kickers is a preschool football programme, listed at St Georges Presbyterian Church on The Terrace in Takapuna, Auckland. It was started in 2002 by a London mum who wanted a fun football class for her preschooler, and it now runs in about 25 countries. The classes are for children from 18 months up to their eighth birthday, with four age-based programmes. The programme's philosophy is "Play not Push", which means teaching football through games and imagination in a relaxed setting, with qualified coaches. Children with any level of skill are welcome. The programme also runs birthday parties and sessions in some child care centres.

Little Kickers joined Stronger Youth Brands in 2023. Classes in Takapuna are run by the local franchise, and the website says to find the nearest class by entering a postcode on its Find a Class page. The Takapuna listing gives a Google rating of 3.5, which is lower than the nearby figures.
