A passion for soccer, learning and keeping healthy

Children are at the heart of Family F.C. and our app is designed to take the guesswork out of teaching new skills while helping everyone get fit and healthy at the same time.

Our story began with a single, simple goal: create a way for children to be taught the beautiful game by their parents, grandparents, big brothers and sisters, cousins or carers, enabling everyone to come together, get active and use soccer in a meaningful, fun way whilst helping embrace the many dimensions of child development.

Matt Jarvis, our Director of Soccer, brings his experience as a player with West Ham United, Norwich City and England to our professional coaching team which includes primary school PE teachers.

The Family F.C. app was designed to teach children all the necessary soccer skills to become better players. So, whether it’s tackling, dribbling, passing or shooting, we provide everything that’s needed to guide you as the Family Soccer Coach.

Boy or girl, beginner or seasoned pro, our programmes will not only improve their soccer skills, but will also help with their physical and mental development (Family F.C. is also aligned to the Government’s National PE Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2).

As part of our philosophy, we recognise the importance of diet, health and mental wellbeing in primary school children. In our Team Talk section we hope you will find some helpful and interesting articles around these topics.

We believe it’s important to recognise equality, and realise there are lots of families and children who love the beautiful game but are not as fortunate as others. That’s why we are committed to donating part of our profits to our partner charities:

KitAid is a charity set up by Derrick Williams MBE, and President of Leverstock Green FC. He visited Tanzania on a WaterAid supporters trip in 1998.

After two weeks in Tanzania, a flame was lit in Derrick’s heart and from then on he was set on a mission to provide kit and equipment to the barefooted children playing with footballs made of tied string and plastic bags.

Now with a whole team of volunteers, KitAid has sent out over 1,000,000 kits to children and adults in 55 countries across the world. With Family F.C and your help, we hope to keep this going.

Kick It Out is an organisation leading the fight against discrimination for everyone who plays, watches or works in football.

The football equality and inclusion organisation works throughout the football, educational and community sectors to challenge discrimination, encourage inclusive practices and campaign for positive change.

Internationally, Kick It Out has close links to FARE Network, and has been cited as an example of good practice by the Council of Europe, the European Commission, European parliamentarians and the  British Council.
