Parent testimony:

“My daughter has been coached by Andy and more recently Matthew and Louie for almost 5 years. They are highly supportive, encouraging coaches. She was very anxious when she started and Andy took the time to make her feel comfortable and relaxed. Her love of football has soared and although she is now looking forward to her next chapter playing as part of a team we are really going to miss our Saturday Mini Footy Sessions. If you are looking for fun, inclusive, high quality coaching for your child, I highly recommend you give Mini Footy a go!!!”
