Founded in 2018, the organization operates in partnership with local police forces, aiming to build trust and understanding between law enforcement and young people.

The organization also raises funds for various charitable causes, including mental health awareness, youth development programs, and community projects. By bringing together diverse communities and stakeholders through the power of sport, Kickoff@3 promotes social inclusion, teamwork, and mutual respect. Our efforts not only benefit individuals and communities directly involved but also serve as a model for using sports as a tool for positive social change and community development.

CHARITY SUPPORT
There are numerous charities that could greatly benefit from more locally-raised funds. One such organization is "Community Cares," a grassroots initiative dedicated to supporting underprivileged families in our community. With increased funds, Community Cares could expand its range of services, providing essential resources such as food, clothing, and educational support to even more families in need. By tapping into the local community, we have the power to make a lasting impact and create positive change right in our own backyard. Together, we can ensure that every family in our community has access to the basic necessities they require to thrive.
