I’ve been working at Little Kickers for nearly 5 years. I am head coach at Homeleigh Park and mainly work on Saturday mornings with occasional Sunday and Friday at other venues. My faourite part of being a coach with Little Kickers is seeing the kids having fun and enjoying themselves. If they are enjoying it then I am enjoying it too. Also it is very nice to see them progress from the Little’s to the Megas and then move on. This very satisfying for me to know I have helped them progress to then go onto grassroots football. My favourite game, if i’m honest I can’t really pick one as I enjoy every single part of the sessions.
Tyler Hale
Lead Coach
Hi my name is Tyler
I am a lead coach with Little Kickers and have been with them for 3 years. I run sessions at cashers green in Stroud on a Saturday and Abbeydale community centre on a Sunday. My favourite thing about coaching is teaching children that football is more than just winning It teaches teamwork, respect, and developing each child’s skill sets while making sure every training session is exciting and enjoyable for the children and to get the parents involved as much as possible. My favourite little kickers game is airport mayhem where children pretend to be airplanes flying down the runway and sort out the suitcases (different colour cones)

Lead Coach
Hi I’m Coach Annika,
I’ve been working at Little Kickers since March 2024. I run sessions at Tewkesbury, Wheatpieces Community Centre. My favourite thing about being a coach is, being able to help the kids grow and develop into their own best little player. Also seeing how much excitement the children have when coming into sessions and how much fun they have. My favourite LittleKickers game is definitely any of the colour cone tidy up games. The kids love the chaos and clapping the cones together.

Hi i’m Coach Harry,
I’ve been working at Little kickers for a year (since March 2025). I run sessions at Swindon village hall and also help around at Pates grammar school. My favourite thing about being a Little Kickers coach is building relationships with the kickers and their parents. My favourite Little Kickers game has got to be the crab game or splat.
Natalia Nowik-Boldyk
Lead Coach
Hi I’m Natalia (coach Nat).
I’ve been working at Little Kickers since June 2025, and have been a lead coach running sessions since August 2025. My favourite thing about being a Little Kickers coach is being able to meet new people and being able to make a positive impact in many children’s lives and experience with sports. I love being able to see our kids develop in skill, confidence and passion without any pressure. My favourite game is doing the penalties, as they’re always so different and exciting.
