Karimah at Kicks

Karimah has been part of Premier League Kicks for over two years, and in that time, she’s really shown what dedication looks like. She’s always the first to get stuck into a session, but what’s even better is that she doesn’t just stay on the pitch, she’s keen to get involved in other activities such as Girls Kicks, Girls Kicks League, PL Changemakers, Paul Smithers Cup, Work Experience, Girls Development Centre and numerous workshops and youth voice activities.

Over the years, we’ve seen her confidence grow, her social skills develop, and her game on the field improve. But what really stands out is how far she’s come off the pitch. Her journey with PL Kicks has even led her to gain work experience with the programme, which just shows how committed she is and how much she’s grown as an individual.

Karimah’s story is a great example of what’s possible when young people are given the right support, opportunities, and a bit of encouragement. Hear more from Karimah in this video:
