Monster Kickabout

Having lost over six months of physical education in schools due to Covid-19, the Monster Kickabout was a week-long celebration of football launched by Sports Direct to get kids up and down the country playing football. Over 3,000 primary and secondary schools took part, receiving kit packs and lesson plans designed to maximize participation, remove complexity and ensure as much fun and excitement was created regardless of ability levels or familiarity with football drills. Four lucky schools (100 kids) were selected, based on their creativity and commitment, to take part in the ultimate pro football experience at St George’s Park football training facility - the home of their England heroes.
