About Us
The KICKSTART philosophy is built on the understanding that children love to have fun and love getting better at whatever they are doing.
Once they feel they are gaining success and having fun at the same time they want to keep coming back and subsequently then gain further success. We have coined this the Snowball Effect.
If children are taught to complete a skill correctly at the start then they will practice the correct skill in the backyard or in the park or even in the house (if they can get away with it). This Snowball Effect brings a stronger skill level, which:
- Encourages more play
- Improves confidence
- Leads to future success
The momentum will then keep on building upon itself - The SNOWBALL effect.
We believe in maxiumum participation and the great ratio of coaches to participants reflects our best practice approach. Our coaching is positive with a high level of appropriate expectation.
While so many parents say “My kids just love it!”, even more kids who have done the program will tell you how much more confident they are now, not just with words but also with their enthusiasm and skill on the field.
