What is Kick It 4 Kids?
Play, Laugh, Learn, Thrive
Kick It 4 Kids is a fun touch footy program that combines weekly skills coaching and matches into each one-hour session. No matter the skill level, every participant can perform, learn and thrive in each activity.
Sessions are coordinated by passionate coaches with a strong focus on creating a comfortable team environment – the perfect way for kids to make new friends and learn as a group. Activities are designed to touch on basic motor skills and decision making, with participants learning through repetition over the course of a term.
Gone are the days of boring drills and running laps; enter engaging games and thrilling exercises. Skills aren’t just limited to catching, passing and running, there is kicking too!
Kick your touch footy up a notch
The addition of kicking in touch football is a guaranteed hit with children. This is what makes Kick It 4 Kids unique!
During the term, coaches will organise various activities focusing on all kick types such as a grubber, chip, and drop kick. Best of all, participants can utilise these skills and perform kicks in touch football matches.
Kicking skills cross over well with other sports such as rugby league, rugby union and AFL.
Two Game Day gala events per term
Let’s put all those skills into practice! Game Day is a perfect opportunity for participants to play multiple touch football matches against the other locations twice each term.
Teams are formed based on age groups at each location. This creates a level of familiarity, which is key when it comes to good teammates!
Professional photography, charity BBQs and participant prizes highlight two exciting afternoons of touch footy.

Testimonials
“I enrolled by son in Kick It 4 Kids as I didn’t want him playing contact sport. He loves the NRL, so this gave him a chance to learn the skills that he sees on tv. He is so excited to play each Monday night. Thank you.”
“My daughter played touch football for club and when we moved away, we found Kick It 4 Kids. I love the skills development each week. I feel this was something that my daughter was missing. She is even excited by the chance to kick the ball games.”
“The kid’s program really helped with some son’s social anxiety. I wasn’t sure how it would go at the start, but the coaches and small age groups helped him feel comfortable. He even made a new friend. Corey and the other coaches do a great job.”
