Kiko Soccer Schools, located in Ashtead, is a football club dedicated to inspiring, educating, and developing individuals through their unique coaching style. With a strong emphasis on manipulating the ball, building skills in context, and nurturing confidence, Kiko Soccer Schools has successfully trained over 9,000 children ranging from 18 months to 18 years old over the past 17 years. Some of their most talented youngsters have even gone on to join professional football academies.
The team at Kiko Soccer Schools comprises a diverse group of coaches, including current semi-pro footballers and experts in pre-school development. This ensures that children not only learn football skills but also crucial social skills that will serve as the foundation for their future careers.
The club offers a range of football programmes for different age groups. The MINIS programme is designed for children aged 18 months to 4 years old, focusing on motor skills, social and emotional well-being, and preparing them for future school curriculums. The JUNIORS section caters to 4 to 10-year-olds, dedicating plenty of contact time on the ball to improve technique and instil the value of possession. Decision-making, risk taking, 1 v 1 situations, and understanding formation and shape are also key aspects of this programme.
For older children in the Under 7s to Under 16s age range, the Team Training sessions become faster and more intense, emphasising control and speed within restricted areas. These sessions focus on developing the players as a cohesive group during the week and implementing their learning in competitive matches on the weekends. Kiko Soccer Schools also provides coaching at a variety of local grassroots clubs.
Recognising the growing interest in girls' football, the club launched its Girls Football Programme in September 2020. Currently consisting of two Kiko FC Girls teams and a Girls Development Centre for 7 to 10-year-olds, the programme aims to build foundational understanding and technique in preparation for participating in football teams.
In addition to their regular programmes, Kiko Soccer Schools offers Afterschool Clubs for children aged 4 to 12 years old. These clubs take place at various local primary schools, offering children an hour of football activities after school. The club also hosts exciting Holiday Camps during every school holiday period. These camps are action-packed with a wide range of games, tournaments, individual skills training, and team-building activities, ensuring a fun-filled day for participants from 9 am to 3 pm.
For those seeking more personalised coaching, Kiko Soccer Schools offers Private Coaching sessions for children aged 3 to 18 years old. These sessions are tailored to the individual, focusing on all aspects of their game and setting specific targets for short-term and long-term improvement.
