Kick Cymru Academy was founded by husband and wife Brendun and Ellie in late 2026, and we launch in January 2027.

It began when their eldest son turned two and they went looking for a local football class. With few options in their local area, they saw the chance to create a thoughtful first experience of football for very young children across North Wales.

That son is five now, with two younger brothers. Life as a family of five has shown Brendun and Ellie how much young children love to move, play and be cheered on, and why it matters to introduce them to sport early, in a way that feels like fun.

Our why

“We’re parents first. Our own three boys are the reason we started, and every session is built around what we’d want for them: a warm, playful first experience of football where they feel safe, welcome and proud of themselves. We want other families to have the class we couldn’t find.”

Brendun and Ellie

Brendun brings knowledge of football from the inside. A former semi-professional footballer and a UEFA-qualified coach, he now coaches a local under-6 team. He plans every one of our sessions personally, balancing movement, skill development and play, so that each one suits young children and leaves them wanting more.

We open in Menai Bridge with our first session on Sunday 10 January 2027. Families can reserve a place now, and payments start on 2 January.
