Who We Are

Kick Off Sports has been delivering sport since 1999, with extensive experience operating and managing community sports facilities through long-term partnerships.

Every venue is different, so we tailor our approach around the facility, its owner and the community it serves.

For us, successful facility management is about much more than taking bookings. It’s about building participation, developing partnerships, managing people, driving income, controlling costs, maintaining high standards and creating a facility that works for its community and remains sustainable for the long term.

And alongside all of that, it’s about being there to deal with the everyday realities of running a busy sports facility.

Getting more from your sports facility

Working with schools, sports clubs, local authorities and landowners to help them get more from their sports facilities, increasing participation, improving community access and creating a sustainable source of income.

We can take responsibility for the day-to-day operation and long-term development of the facility, from programming, bookings and marketing to staffing, maintenance, customer management and community partnerships.

Every facility is different. We therefore create flexible, long-term operating agreements shaped around the venue, its ownership, governing-body compliance, funding requirements and the needs of the community it serves.
