Kixx Chesterfield football academy's fun challenges for kids are a big hit online during lockdown

Since the national lockdown announcement and families being kept in homes, Kixx have been releasing interactive football academy sessions on Facebook every weekend.

Throughout the weeks they have also been setting fun challenges, providing continuous activities for free and even reading popular children’s bedtime stories.

MIchelle Green, co-owner and coach of Kixx Chesterfield, said: “Each video and session we put out has a theme and story that has been continuing throughout.

“There’s been a fun rivalry building up since the first session between one of our coaches and our national mascot, The Kixx Monkey, and children and truly love watching this story play out.

“Each session has been put together to keep children active and to make them laugh and smile throughout. It’s our mission to keep putting together the free sessions and keep positively impacting as many children can until we return.

“The comments and emails received since the launch of the online sessions have been very humbling.”

Due to the amount of enquires received during lockdown, Kixx has reopened its memberships for children to secure their places before the academies relaunch. All children receive a free football kit with every membership.
