About ICOACHKIDS

Partners

Driving global change means working with partners globally to support our mission to promote policy, education and practice that PUTS KIDS FIRST.

A Global Network

Since the birtch of ICOACHKIDS in 2016, we have partnered with some incredible organisations and federations around the world. Each partner has played, or continues to play, an active role in helping us to make steps towards a world where EVERY CHILD has access to positive sport experiences that foster a love for sport, play and physical activity.

“The redesigned ICK-platform is more than just a website – it is a global hub for excellence in youth and children’s sports. It brings together the collective expertise of leading minds from coaching practice, academia and education, offers coaches worldwide an invaluable knowledge base and empowers the next generation of coaches worldwide.”
