Kicks For Kids For more than 30 years, I’ve dedicated my career to football coaching and community development, working with players of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

😁 Fun, Professional, & Development-Focused

Helping players of all abilities build skills, confidence & love for the game! From elite pathways to grassroots, my mission has always been the same: to make football a game that everyone can enjoy, access, and thrive in. I hold an A Licence and bring decades of experience coaching across the UK and Australia. Over the years, I’ve delivered programs for schools, clubs, and community groups, always placing player development, resilience, and fun at the heart of every session. Whether I’m coaching a junior starting out in MiniRoos or guiding a teenager in a tailored Individual Development Programme, I believe football is a powerful tool for learning skills that go far beyond the field. Alongside technical coaching, I have a strong passion for inclusive and disability football. With years of hands-on experience in the disability sector, I’ve built programs that create safe, engaging environments for neurodiverse children, young people with physical disabilities, and families looking for opportunities beyond traditional sport. I’m proud to run All Abilities Football programs that are designed around acceptance, encouragement, and genuine community connection. Through initiatives such as Kicks 1on1 and Mini Kicks Football, I deliver both personalised small-group training and early learning programs. These sessions focus not only on football skills, but also on fine motor development, teamwork, balance, and confidence building — ensuring that every child, regardless of their ability or background, has the chance to grow through sport. I’ve also been an approved provider with the Sporting Schools Program for over four years, partnering with schools across Queensland to introduce thousands of children to football for the first time. These programs are tailored to age and ability, aligning with national curriculum goals while staying rooted in fun and play. At the community level, I work closely with local clubs, councils, and organisations to champion inclusive football facilities and opportunities. From advocating for accessible, all-weather pitches to helping design pathways for disadvantaged groups, I believe in football as a force for unity and social good. Above all, my work is driven by one belief: football is more than a sport — it’s a community. Every player deserves the chance to belong, to play, and to experience the joy of the game. Whether it’s guiding future stars, supporting schools, or championing inclusive programs, I’m committed to building spaces where football truly is for everyone.

🌟 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MORNING WITH OUR UNIFIED SUPERSTARS! 🌟

Today’s holiday session was full of laughter, courage, teamwork and some brilliant football. From our fun themed games to players versus coaches, everyone got involved and gave it their all!

One of the best parts was seeing parents join in alongside their children. Those shared moments, the encouragement from the sidelines and the smiles across the pitch made this morning truly special. ❤️⚽

Thank you to all the beautiful families who came along. You make Unified a place where everyone can belong, play and shine.

Term 4 registrations will open soon! We can’t wait to see our Superstars back on the pitch. 🌟

💙💛 Baringa FC Community — Let’s Get Behind Cobey 💛💙

One of our very own Baringa FC Under 9s players, Cobey, is taking on an incredibly special challenge, and we would love our Baringa community to get behind him.

Last year, Cobey was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent surgery at the Queensland Children’s Hospital. After an incredibly difficult period for Cobey and his family, they are thankfully able to look back at just how far this brave young man has come.

On 24 October, exactly one year since his surgery, Cobey and his dad Marc will ride approximately 35km from Caloundra to Mooloolaba to raise funds for sick children and families supported by the Queensland Children’s Hospital.

Those who know Cobey know the character he is. Even while going through his own battle, he remained positive, made the doctors and nurses laugh, and continued thinking about the other kids around him.

Now he wants to give something back. 💙

As a club, we couldn't be prouder to have Cobey as part of the Baringa FC family. Let’s rally around one of our young players and help Cobey turn this incredible milestone into something that makes a difference for other kids and their families.

Whether you can donate, share his fundraiser, or simply send some encouragement his way, every bit of support counts.

Go Cobey! The whole Baringa FC community is behind you! ⚽🚲💙💛

⚽ What a finish to our Spring Football Camp!

Three days of football, laughter, new friendships and some brilliant teamwork. Our players gave everything on the pitch, but what made this camp special was how they looked after each other. We saw acts of kindness, players encouraging their teammates and young leaders stepping up to be role models. We couldn’t be prouder of you all! 🖤🤍

A huge thank you to every player, parent and coach who made these three days so memorable, and to Baringa Football Club for welcoming us and sharing their facilities.

For players aged 8 and above who are keen to keep improving, our indoor Player Development Program is coming up. Small groups give each player more touches, individual challenges and focused coaching to build skills and confidence. Details to follow soon!

Well done, superstars. What a camp! 🙌⚽
