Rams star Dean Leacock was out in the community on Monday night to help with the official launch of Kickz, a project that helps youngsters use football as a mechanism to keep them off the streets and out of trouble.

The scheme has been running since February at the Steve Bloomer Pitch at Derby's Racecourse ground and allows people from 12-18, in the city's Derwent area, to attend and take part in tri-weekly sessions.

It is being coordinated by Derby County in the Community's Paul Whitworth, who also speaks in this exclusive free video piece which will start in the box to the right of this story.
