Testimonials

“I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank the fantastic coaches of your program. My son, has been attending Soccatoos programs for the last two terms this year. I cannot praise the coaches more highly. My son was enrolled in another program prior to commencing with Soccatoos. Unfortunately this was not an entirely successful experience for us. I am an Early Childhood Trained Teacher and immediately recognised the child centred approach taken by the Soccatoos coaches. I believe this and the amazing patience and clear love of the children displayed by the coaches has in not only resulted in a child who has developed skills that would not have otherwise been achieved, but also one happy Soccatoo! All parents know that a happy Soccatoo means a happy Mum. I can only thank you all most sincerely for the extra time spent with him on his not so happy days. Who knows you may have the next Australian Soccer star! Thank you again.

Maree (Penshurst NSW)

“I just want to let you know what a wonderful program you run for these preschoolers. My 4 year old son has never shown any interest in a sport - until now. Your rapport with them, the way you speak to them, and the way you teach them at a level and in a language that they understand and have so much fun with is just outstanding. You can see the coaches love what they are doing and the parents have a good laugh as well watching the coaches and the children. Of all the local preschooler programes I have taken my children to, SOCCATOOS TOPS THE LOT. Thanks again and I look forward to starting my 3rd son in Soccatoos next year!"

Liz (Menai NSW)

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you. Soccatoos continues to be such a wonderful experience for my son. What he learns and how much fun he has every week is such a credit to your Soccatoos coaches. You are to be commended for your program’s professionalism, your coaches enthusiasm and last but not least the encouragement everyone involved gives our children each and every week. WE LOVE SOCCATOOS!!!!!”

Sophie (Miranda NSW)

“I just wanted to express how impressed I am with the Soccatoo's program. My son is very shy (as many 3 year olds are) but I have been so impressed by the way the coaches have encouraged him out of his shell so quickly but subtly. In other group activities he has been very reserved but at Soccatoos when he looks a bit quiet the coaches seem to notice and very tactful get him involved and engaged. I think he is really picking up some great soccer skills that he hasn't developed in other programs. So, well done and thank you, he's really enjoying his soccer and will be back next term!”

Leanne (Como NSW)

“Thank you so much for the wonderful soccer program that you run. My two boys enjoyed the activities and the enthusiasm with which they were run as well as your collective sense of humour. The coaches were great with the children and anyone who can keep a preschooler’s interest held for an hour is to be commended and admired. Once again thank you for your comprehensive soccer program which has helped my boys develop their co-ordination and skills and most of all instil a love of being part of a team.”

Jina (School Teacher, Menai NSW)

“My son has been attending for the past two years. He loves coming and I can see the confidence and skills he has achieved in this time. It is an excellent program which allows preschoolers to slowly develop skills in a warm and friendly environment. He has had the opportunity to develop friendship and some team building which a preschooler does not often experience. He is now 5 and will continue Soccatoos until he attends school. Thank you for providing such a wonderful program for my son.”

Betina (Menai NSW)

“I have just enrolled the children again for next term. Thanks so much for everything the coaches have done with the kids this term. The children really enjoy the program and the coaches are so lovely with the kids.”

Brooke (Casula NSW)

“I just wanted to let you know that my son is as soccer mad as ever and has settled into club soccer very easily and with great enthusiasm. He scored a goal for his team within the first 15 minutes of his very first game and tried desperately to avoid the focus that came from the very excited sideline. Thank you so much for all the great soccer skills you and your team taught him last year. When I signed him up for Soccatoos I had no idea he would take to it like he did. I think a lot of that is to do with the wonderful program you run and the fantastic relationship you build with all the kids. He really is enjoying playing beyond belief and the shy kid is really blossoming into a fantastic, confident little guy. He just can't get enough sport.”

Naomi (Engadine NSW)

“The program has been extremely favourable for my son and is well worthwhile for any child to develop basic soccer skills. The transfer from Soccatoos to Saturday morning competition is so pleasing, as a parent, to see. It has brought my son a new confidence and the coaches are just so spot on. Where did you find such warm-hearted, kind and talented people?”

Antonia (Gymea NSW)

“Thanks. Both of my boys have loved coming along. Now that he is at school, my eldest boy misses coming. You guys do a wonderful job.”

Caroline (Bulli NSW)

“The coaches have been great with the kids too. So thanks for another great term. Of all the paid activities my kids do (and believe me we do far too many each week!) your program is the one I have found by far that is run the most professionally, organized and has the best rapport built with the kids by the coaches. A great mix of technique and fun. It is also so age appropriate with is invaluable. Thank you for all your efforts.”

Brooke (Milperra NSW)

“Thank you for the focussed attention and challenge you are giving Aaron. He loves Soccatoos and it is very much appreciated. Thanks again.”

Kelly (Russell Vale NSW)

“Thank you for your professionalism last term and would like to compliment the coaches for their warm approach to the children. I have recommended Soccatoos to my friends and will continue to do so.”

Belinda (Padstow, NSW)

“Your program is fantastic, the kids love it and the mums get a chance to have a chat on the sidelines. It's a winner all round! The coaches are absolutely fantastic with the kids. They have this wonderful balance of allowing the children freedom to have fun but also to rein them in so that they walk away having learnt valuable ball skills. There are some tricky children in the group and I'm amazed at the level of their patience! Phew!”

Pip (Bulli NSW)

“My son will be coming to Soccatoos again next year. The coaches and their jokes were one of the highlights for my son last year and he still talks about them constantly! Thank you.”

Brigid (Woonona NSW)

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you. Soccatoos continues to be such a wonderful experience for my son. What he learns and how much fun he has every week is such a credit to your Soccatoos Coaches. You are to be commended for your professionalism, your enthusiasm, and last but not least the encouragement you continue to give our boys each and every week. We love Soccatoos!!!”

Sophie (Miranda NSW)

“He really does love Soccatoos and you have established a great foundation for him in the sport. You have Myles on a piece of string! It is lovely to see him running around and beaming with happiness. Happiness is contagious.”

Michelle (Austinmer NSW)

“I just wanted to express how impressed I am with the Soccatoos program. My son is very shy (as many 3 year olds are) but I have been so impressed by the way the coaches have encouraged him out of his shell so quickly but subtly. In other group activities, he has been very reserved but at Soccatoos when he looks a bit quiet the coaches notice and very tactfully get him involved and engaged. Finally, I think he is really picking up some soccer skills that he hasn't developed in other programs. So, well done and thank you, he's really enjoying his soccer and will be back next term!”

Leanne (Menai NSW)

Isabelle (Menai NSW)

“"Rest assured I'll be the first to register for next term! It's a great program, he absolutely loves it!”

Jade (Kurnell NSW)

“It is so pleasing to see my preschooler so engaged, from week to week, fully enthused and eager to return the next week. Your staff are so gentle and encouraging with the children. And I don't miss a chance to vouch for your program when speaking to other mothers in the playground. And while this is his last term before starting school next year, we are looking to enrol his younger addition in the program once he reaches three years.”

Antonia (Miranda NSW)

“ My son really does love Soccatoos and your coaches have established a great foundation for him in the sport.”

Bec (Unanderra NSW)

“My son has been attending another soccer program this year (2010) but we are very keen for him to enrol in your program - we found out how good your program is and were encouraged by the smaller number of children in the class.”

Belinda (Jannali NSW)

“Thank you for all you and your staff did over the course of the past 3 terms. My son has grown and learned so much while taking part in Soccatoos. He has continued to progress in listening, ability, confidence and enthusiasm each term he participates. That has so much to do with your wonderfully positive and supportive staff. Thank you so much!”

Laura (Thirroul NSW)

“We would like to thank you and your wonderful coaches for a great 3 years. I think we can count the number of days we have missed on one hand, and they were only due to sickness. My son has loved soccer each week. He has come along way and most importantly the game is no longer about kicking a goal, but now the "team" concept which is great. The coaches are fantastic. The effort that goes into each session is great, and kids have a ball. Each week they have me laughing too :) ”

Mel (Revesby NSW)

“Thank you so much. My son loved his classes this year, in fact on his last class I had to get his older brother and sister out of school to watch. He was so proud.”

Beth (Illawong NSW)

“My son had a fabulous intro to soccer at Soccatoos this term. All of the coaches were just fabulous with the kids. I will definitely be bringing him back.”

Nicola (Shellharbour NSW)

Tracey & Scott (Menai NSW)

“Thank you very much for your patience and showing an interest in him. It’s important that we choose the right programs for our child and your program is definitely on the list. We were both impressed with the sessions.”

Mal & Tricia (Engadine NSW)

“You have developed a wonderful program and I’ve told many friends and I’ve told many friends and family members about it. Your coaches’ enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment of soccer kept his attention. I am so impressed they keep the interest of so many young children every week for so long. They are amazing! It is an amazing program, but the efforts and energy your coaches put into it is what makes it a success.”

Dana (Engadine NSW)

“It’s fantastic to see people turning passions into such wonderful programs for children. I look forward to seeing Soccatoos open here in Melbourne.”

Brett (Melbourne VIC)

“Thanks for your hard work. The coaches have a wonderful rapport with children and the sessions are extremely well run. I’ve been suggesting to a lot of my friends to bring their children along. I am a teacher and recognize the hard work it takes to manage a group of such young children. You have a great program that is perfectly suited to their age group. The combination of games and skills is excellent and the language is aimed at their level. .”
