WORK HISTORY
Director & Co-founder - Brand & Relationship Building @Childrensfootball.Com

Founded by parents for parents, with a passion for supporting children to help them enjoy their grassroots football journey. Our original aim was to provide a central hub of resources, information and products (goals, rebounders, footballs, accessories and more) perfect to play with in your garden or down at your local park, delivered to your door wherever you are in the UK. In addition, we\'ve evolved to support our wider customers including coaches, teachers, and club administrators by establishing partnerships with UK-based football coaching businesses, teams and clubs, and schools, which includes a rebate model to help support their grassroots football communities.

ABOUT MATT HACKETT
I loved football from a young age, playing in the street every night as a kid with friends. And growing up in a family of football enthusiasts with 2 siblings and a dad who all played the game at various levels, including my sister long before girls and women\'s football became as popular as it is today.My son started playing football at the age of 3 and by the age of 6, when he was starting to get involved in his first Under 7 team, I stepped up to begin my volunteer coaching journey, completing my FA Level 1 (now Introduction to Coaching Football) in 2018.Since then I\'ve experienced the joy and challenges that happen every week with running a youth grassroots football team, and I\'ve hopefully helped children begin their love of playing the game.After hearing many of the same questions asked repeatedly by parents and families of football-loving kids, about how to get involved in playing and how they progress, in late 2021, Children\'s Football Limited was born. My business partner, Tony Hine, and I discussed several ideas, but the main focus was always to provide support and advice to anyone getting involved in helping young players get started and navigate the way through playing in grassroots football, and help ensure they have fun along the way.In the last few years the business has grown and evolved and, from our office and warehouse in Macclesfield, Cheshire, is now a nationwide retailer of football equipment and gifts, offering hundreds of products to customers from parents, through to schools, football teams and clubs, and professional football coaches, whilst continuing to share our experience and ever-expanding knowledge of the grassroots game.\'[email protected] & Knowledge: Children\'s Football, Youth Football, Junior Football, Kids Football, Grassroots Football, Football Equipment, Football Training, Football Coaching, Football Training Equipment.
