OUR STORY

Hey, I’m Charlie - Founder of Kickerbout!
For as long as I can remember, football has been my anchor. It gave me fitness, friendships, and a reason to look forward to weeknights and weekends (cue the Champions League music 🎶). It even led me into a decade of coaching, helping others find joy through the game.
But then life happened. Without football as a regular outlet, the weeks started blending into each other. Work got busier, social circles shifted, and the routine quietly disappeared.
I realised I wasn't the only one. A lot of adults drift away from playing without meaning to. Life fills the calendar, but the simple things that make the week better get squeezed out.
That’s why I started Kickerbout.
We’ve created a community where football is simple to access. It’s a chance for you to play the game you love, be around good people, and bring football back into your weekly rhythm.
My coaching experience has given me the tools to make games fun and inclusive. Seeing players walk away lighter, fitter, and smiling after a session is what makes me happiest.
So if you’ve hung up your boots (without meaning to), Kickerbout is your chance to lace them up again. The transfer window’s open and we’re looking for free agents 🎉
