Wolves Foundation have launched a new project aimed at increasing access to free recreational football for adults across the city – and supporting grass roots clubs with their off-field operations.
‘Kick Off’ will be delivered thanks to funding from the Premier League & PFA Community Fund and will aim to create opportunities for more adults to be able to play football at facilities which are close to home.
The project will be overseen by Nikki Lal, who has been involved with the Foundation for almost a decade and has now been appointed as senior grassroots football officer.
“Kick Off is a new project where Wolves Foundation are aiming to ensure adults have access to free recreational football across Wolverhampton, with the overall goal of having something available within a mile of anyone’s home,” she says.

“So, it involves a lot of mapping and scoping out and also making sure we work alongside other Foundation projects and the other physical activities set up in different parts of the city.
“It’s about getting out into parts of the city where there is less physical activity available, or people don’t have access to it, and removing barriers to that activity.
“We all know how important exercise is for both physical and mental health and Kick Off is designed to offer fun and informal recreational football, with small-sided games and matches.”
There are already different groups set up for Kick Off sessions, including Women’s Football and Walking Football, and plans for more including focusing on Care Leavers and the LGBTQ+ community…
If you would like to get involved in one of our sessions or are part of a local grassroots club that is interested in finding out more, contact Nikki on NikkiLal@wolves.co.uk
