Testaments
Joseph Vitale 
How have you found the program?
Joseph was extremely timid when he first started and we would have to stand beside him in the first couple of training sessions, however within a matter of 4 weeks he stopped looking for us the entire hour he is training. He is only 4 years old and the smallest player amongst his group, but he has learnt so many skills, dribbles the ball well and listens to the coaches.
Would you recommend the program to other parents?
Most definitely, we are constantly telling other parents about how good the program has been for Joseph. Even if your child is shy and timid, they will build up their self confidence in no time.
Ella Walsh
How have you found the program?
Fantastic, it is a great program for the development of personal skills in children as it is very interactive and socially brilliant. All of the kids are of similar age groups and for us it has been terrific as Ella is 5 years old and our boy is 4, so they can do the program together. The coaches make it real fun for the kids, so they are actually learning great personal skills without realising it whilst they are having a ball.
Would you recommend the program to other parents?
Totally go for it, I highly recommend it to all parents. Ella looks forward to it every week.
William Pascoe
How have you found the program?
The program is great for the kids. They are out exercising, having fun and meeting new kids. William started the program last year when he was three and we have found it a great introduction to sport in general and for soccer. The coaches are awesome and they really make the program fun for the kids which really means they are learning so many personal skills but in a really fun way. We love their kindy soccer uniforms they all look wonderful.
Would you recommend the program to other parents? Absolutely, this is a great program for the development of team skills and making friends. You definately get your money's worth

Grandfather - David
How have you found the program?
Very good, the coaches are excellent with little kids. They are patient and they manage to teach them so many good personal and soccer skills. We have found the facilities are terrific as they have lots of room and good equipment, it is obvious that a lot of effort happens behind the scene as the setup is very professional. Aedon really enjoys it every Saturday.
Mother – Sibhan Gillespie
Aedon really enjoys the program. There is a really nice community family atmosphere here and the kids have a lot of fun. As a teacher I find the coaches are really good and I like the fact that the program has both boys and girls involved.
Would you recommend the program to other parents?
Most certainly, this is a great way to introduce children to group sports, team building and building self confidence. It is great for their focus and concentration.
