About Us

Shede was a member of the Kenya National Football team and played in the Kenya National League for over 10 years. He was the captain of his team & top goal scorer, travelling to many parts of the world to represent his country including Europe, Africa and the Middle East. He is also is a fully qualified coach accredited with the Football Federation of Victoria, holds current Level 2 First Aid and CPR and relevant industry affiliations (Kinect Australia).

Our soccer clinics are a fun environment for kids to learn, grow and improve their skills, even if kids are not mad about soccer, the program has an emphasis on improving motor skill, mental and physical agility, co ordination and importantly at a time when we are experiencing record levels of childhood obesity, a way of getting kids moving and improving general fitness. Kids benefit socially too, through encouraged team work which helps build a healthy self esteem.

Shede is also a father of 2 energetic boys and so understands first hand the benefits that an active lifestyle brings for families.

STRUCTURE OF SESSIONS

Our sessions comprise of fun skills training where children are taught ball control, shooting, dribbling, passing, communication, fitness and agility and the best part – a mini match at the end of each session where kids get to apply their skills in a team environment. Our sessions run for 45 minutes which we have found to be the optimum time to keep kids interest levels peaked and energy levels high.

EQUIPMENT

We provide all equipment necessary and ensure that our equipment is of the highest quality. We advise you bring water for your child and while soccer boots are not necessary, comfortable sports footwear is essential.

MOTIVATION

We aim to provide the best environment for positive and gentle encouragement. We believe this is the best way to bring out the best in children and help foster positive self esteem and co operative teamwork, we also incorporate a reward system with certificates for such achievements as ‘best team player”, ‘fairest on ground’ as well as ‘top goal scorer’ and skill related achievements. We encourage the team members themselves to participate in the award process at the end of the term.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Parents are required to be present for the duration of the sessions as we are not a registered child care provider. The benefits of being present are great. You can see your child’s progression and children adore an audience of loved ones to cheer them on. As our sessions are outdoors you may also have a chance for some peace and fresh air.

MISSED SESSIONS / BAD WEATHER

We will advise cancellation of sessions due to bad weather via SMS and these sessions will be added on to the end of the term.

Unfortunately we are unable to refund missed sessions on term bookings.
