A Little Bit About Us...
Have Fun At Kick It Kindies Children’s Soccer School
Are you looking for an action-packed, fun and supportive environment, where your child will have the opportunity to learn and develop new skills.
Our sessions, located at Coogee Beach Club, offer children aged from two to eight the opportunity to learn basic soccer skills, teamwork, and most importantly, play games in a high energy and engaging environment. We promise a lot of goals scored and memories that will last a lifetime.
Learn and Develop New Skills
We organise sessions according to age and skill level. This ensures that each participant gets to learn and compete alongside children similar to them in ability. Organisation along these lines gives each child a reasonable challenge, but will not overwhelm them.
​
Our experienced coaches stand by every step of the way. Both ex professional soccer players; they bring a wealth of technical knowledge of the sport, and years of experience in teaching young children how to have the most fun while playing soccer the right way.
​
Kick It Kindies provides a great environment for children to get active, develop socially among peers and work on building skills that will support cognitive and physical growth and development.
A Great Experience for your Child
​
Held at the newly renovated Coogee Beach Club (formerly known as the Bowling Club) our Kick It Kindies school is most conveniently located to people living in Coogee, Randwick, Clovelly, Maroubra region. We do however, welcome everyone who has an interest in the sport to come along and join.
​
Our staff ensure that participants have the best possible equipment for safety and enjoyable game play. Then, after the session, you and your family can enjoy the beach and everything else the local community has to offer.
