The plans follow consultation with a range of key stakeholders, including the Premier League, EFL Trust and the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
Carl Krauhaus, CACT’s Head of Early Help & Prevention, said: “We’ve had to make certain changes to our programme to ensure we’re following government guidelines.
“CACT staff will be on site. We will not be coaching young people, but we will be facilitating the session and ensuring all guidelines are adhered to.
“We look forward to getting this programme underway.”
The free sessions are open to 11 to 18-year-olds in Greenwich & Bexley every Saturday. Click here for more information about Kicks.
Online youth sessions among virtual offer

Counselling run in the Royal Borough of Greenwich is currently an online and telephone-based service.
Updates on resumption dates for CACT’s other football sessions will be made available on its website.
CACT’s smoking cessation programme is running new weekly group Zoom calls from 11am on a Saturday.
CACT’s mentoring programme is currently continuing as a telephone-based service.
