Kinetic Foundation

Kinetic Foundation is a registered charity based in London, England. The foundation uses football to educate, inspire, and progress the next generation of young people.

Kinetic delivers a wide range of educational services and opportunities for them to be active, learn new skills and improve their employment. For the players who have not stayed in football after finishing the programme, Kinetic has helped them on their path to university, finding jobs or football coaching.

Kinetic also runs free weekly training sessions in the community for young players.

History

Kinetic Foundation was founded after the 2011 England riots by former Crystal Palace coach Harry Hudson and James Fotheringham.[1] The academy provides its players an education,[2] mandatory volunteer opportunities,[3] and opportunities to play for an American college on scholarships.[4]
