Football Basics for Kids
I am currently coaching a local school team and have noticed that a lot of young footballers here lack basic ball skills even though they are representing their school and playing football (i.e. soccer) somewhat competitively. Working with my own players on their basic skills, they improved their game dramatically within a couple of training sessions. I realise that local school coaches aren't emphasising on this area much, so, if there is enough interest, I could conduct training sessions for players between 10-15 to work on their basic skills such as stopping, trapping, kicking, passing, heading and taking throw-ins. From what I've seen, it is also possible to work on simple 'tricks' such as stepovers and body feints to give some dimension to their repertoire of moves. I'd need to have a participant size of 5-7 players to conduct a one-hour training session, with the cost being $10 per participant, per session. Drop me a message or text/call 0277780883 if you think this might be something useful for your child.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
