Become a Club Owner. Run your own football coaching business

We are passionate about giving young children the best possible start in life through a combination of exercise and education. We also have a passion for business and the business of franchising. We believe that, when done well, franchising can be an amazing partnership of like-minded individuals, all pulling in the same direction to achieve the same vision; giving more children more opportunities and a great head start in life.

The best advice I've ever taken is: if you do what you love, you'll never work another day in your life. Having worked in the industry part-time for 5 years before becoming a WeeKicks franchisee, I knew that I wanted to make it my full-time occupation.
As a young coach I needed direction and support to take my existing knowledge as a coach to the next level and make my vocation my career as a business owner.
Having flexible hours allows me to take charge of my time, which is a fantastic way to balance all the other aspects of my life that I enjoy.
