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. Work schedules changed. Friendships shifted. Consistency disappeared. Without football as a regular outlet, the complexities of adult life became overwhelming. The hamster wheel kept spinning, and my mental and physical health suffered.

​

I realised many others face the same challenges: mental and physical health taking a back seat, social circles shrinking, and stress building up week after week.

​

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, meet new people, and shake off the week’s tension in 60 minutes of football.

​

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 🎉
