At Kixx, football is serious business — but that doesn’t mean it can’t be filled with fun, laughter, and brilliant memories.
No one brings that to life better than our founder, Coach Ben.
If you’ve ever been to a Kixx session, you’ll know Ben’s passion for helping children shine is matched only by his knack for making them laugh. Whether he’s roaring like a lion, hopping like a rabbit, or attempting the crossbar challenge (and booting the ball into the next postcode!), he brings a joy that’s impossible to ignore.
He might not be on a comedy tour, but with his quick wit, pitch-side one-liners, and boundless energy, there’s definitely a bit of Peter Kay about him — all wrapped up in someone who genuinely cares about every child’s experience.
So, we thought it was time to share some of his funniest highlights…
Presenting: Coach Ben’s Greatest Hits
A collection of magical, unfiltered, laugh-out-loud moments caught on camera at our Kixx academies.
1. Let’s Get Rid of That Tottenham Shirt
A perfectly timed bit of football banter as Coach Ben spots a Spurs shirt… and suggests a gentle rethink.
2. Man United Socks
The socks say it all — and Ben can’t resist a cheeky comment.
All in good humour… (well, sort of).
3. I Thought You Were Fast
Ben with the ball bag. The challenge? Return your football. The twist? He’s off like a rocket — with a trail of giggling children in pursuit.
Fun, fitness, and just a touch of mischief. Classic Kixx.
4. How Old Are You?
Ben tries his luck with a guess: “Are you two?” The children’s confident response? “Absolutely not!”
A brilliant little moment that shows just how early confidence grows on our pitches.
Why It Matters
Behind all the laughter are moments of real connection.
At Kixx, fun isn’t just a bonus — it’s how we help children learn, grow, and thrive. Every coach leads with care, personality, and positivity, creating an environment where children feel free to express themselves, try new things, and enjoy every second.
These clips aren’t just funny moments — they’re a snapshot of what makes Kixx so special.
According to Sport England’s Active Lives Children and Young People Survey (2023–24), active play and enjoyment are key drivers for building confidence, wellbeing, and long-term participation in sport. That’s exactly what our sessions deliver — confidence through connection, one giggle at a time.
