KIKOFF Soccer Centres: Soccer Coaching, Holiday Camps & Birthday Parties (5-15yrs)

Greta North

Dear Kikoff, I want to thank you for the fantastic time my 3 year old son Malachi is having with Ben at Kikstarters on Thursday mornings at Kensington. I enrolled Malachi in Kikstarters due to how impressed we have been with the quality of the coaching our 8 year old has received with Leon, Ben and the other Kensington coaches during term 1 and the April school holiday camp. It is our first year with Kikoff. The training at this level is unparalleled in our experience and the development and comradeship that we’ve seen in all the children is both commendable and remarkable. And by the way, how do you get those children’s full attention for almost one and a half hours? For our toddler we tried another company’s soccer program in term 1 which in itself was fine but Malachi refused to take part to the point that he wouldn’t let me put him down to even kick the ball. It was the same story for all the activities, whether sport or music, that we were doing with Malachi in term 1. In week 2 of Kikstarters with Ben my Velcro child was quite happy for me to retreat to the pitch gate and I’m quite sure could have cared less by the end of the session if I’d been sitting down outside. Ben engaged him in a whole host of activities which saw him participating in lots of fun soccer activities but also incorporating colour recognition, counting and listening to and layering of instructions. In conclusion Ben is actually the most patient person on the planet and I haven’t seen my son so full of joy and happiness all year, and that is without exception. We will be forever grateful to Ben and Kikoff for the change we can already see in Malachi. Thank you so much for making this program available. Please continue it on for as long as possible at Kensington. Kind regards, Greta North and Michael White

My 6 year old son is soccer mad and has been going to Kikoff for about 10 months and it is the highlight of his week, he literally eats, sleeps and breathes soccer! Harry came home with a note from school last week about after school soccer, run by another provider, and begged me to let him go. He went to the first session yesterday and was so disappointed he actually cried on the way home. They just played games, then had a quick ten minute match with no direction or input whatsoever, there was no skill work, nothing about the actual game of soccer itself. I am just about to email them and ask for my money back as it was so poor. Whilst sitting watching it yesterday, it made me realise just how fantastic Kikoff is, we always knew it was brilliant but this other "training" simply highlighted how professional Kikoff is. Jon and Paul are outstanding, and my son idolises both of them like you would not believe! Our son has progressed enormously, and the coaching he receives is of an outstanding level, thanks so much and keep up the good work!!

My now 6yo son did KIKOFF Kensington's 10wk Summer Soccer program in Dec and just loved it. Following on from a regular outdoor Winter league, the smaller, enclosed pitches made it seem more highly concentrated and the boys seemed to focus more on the drills and mini matches. It's fair to say my son is now well & truly soccer obsessed and has just had his birthday party there and is begging to do both KIKOFF and his outdoor league this year. Well done Leon & the team!

In a very short time all of the kids in the class are showing significant improvement and are having a great time as well. Paul has already proven his excellent coaching skills, passion for the game and professionalism but it is his outstanding rapport with the kids, sense of humour and fun that he brings to each session that has actively engaged both the kids and the parents.

Brian

Learned all skills to enhance his technical football skills specific positional tactics ,passing and ball control his skills have improved under quality coaching.

Great coaches and my son is always so excited to go to training.

By far the best sports program my kids have been on. I found the coaching second to none. My boys loved that the coaches knew their names. I loved that the game was stopped every so often to see what they could do better. Also teaching them to pass and play as a team instead of just scoring. My boys have very little soccer knowledge and loved it! thank you

I would like email updates please

My son is currently enrolled in Kikoff's coaching program and his ability has improved tremendously in just a few months, highly recommend their coaches and also birthday parties which Aidan also had there last month!
