Kesgrave Kestrels Football Club

Kesgrave Kestrels

Introduction

We are a community based football club based in Kesgrave, on the eastern side of Ipswich. Our aim is to provide the opportunity for boys and girls to play football and to develop the skills associated with this team sport. We are proud of our heritage – a number of club players have gone on to play for Ipswich Town and other local clubs and Richard Wright, Titus Bramble, Luke Hyam and Billy Clark have all played for the Club during their own development.

We have 25 youth teams and 4 senior teams within the Club for the 2020/21 season, the greatest number we have ever had, ranging from our Little Kestrels for players in school years Reception to Year 2 inclusive, through mini soccer and youth football up to senior football.

Our Little Kestrels group has expanded this season to include all children in reception class regardless of age and we now have 90 places in this group  across the three year groups.

Our Wildcats, offering girls only football, continues to grow and we have just formed a new U9 Girls team as a direct result of Wildcats.

Our youth teams play in the Suffolk Youth Football League on Saturday mornings and our girls teams play in the Suffolk Girls and Womens Football League (SGWFL). 

Our senior men’s teams play in the The Macron SIL Suffolk and Ipswich League, the Ipswich Sunday Football League and the Norfolk and Suffolk Veterans League.

We are always on the look out for new sponsors, budding coaches and players to join our teams for the new 2021/22 season.

Little Kickers

Little Kickers

Introduction

We have four different football classes each tailored to a different age group.

We believe in something we call “Play not Push”. It means teaching football in a fun, pressure-free environment. We want to give children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just football, so they’re more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives.

We believe football can be educational. Coached in the right way it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colours and numbers, following instructions and playing as a team.

The classes are:

  • Little Kicks - 18 months to 2 years 6 months - Sundays 09:00-09:45

  • Junior Kickers - 2½ years to 3 ½ years - Sundays 10:00-10:45

  • Mighty Kickers - 3 ½ years to 5th birthday - Sundays 11:00-11:45, 12:00-12:45

  • Mega Kickers - 5 years to 7th birthday - No sessions offered.

Please call for details.
