Anyone can play soccer.
We believe that every child should have access to fun kids’ activities and our soccer programs are no exception.
Next Step, our evidence based program, helps children with additional needs explore, develop, learn, build relationships and have loads of fun.
We offer a nurturing environment supported by specialised coaches, health professionals and a pathway for families to experience feelings of security, acceptance and understanding. Next Step's inclusive learning approach aims to narrow the divide between children's access to mainstream and special needs classes. Our approach has proven results and strong family and community support.
Next Step Foundation are offering a 12-month full scholarship program to fund 3 children to join a mainstream Soccajoeys' Kids Soccer Class.
We will work with Soccajoeys coaches, families, and support/professional staff to build a unique inclusion opportunity. The program adaptation will include space, task, equipment, and coaching style.
Applications are open to children in NSW, Victoria, and South Australia and ACT in locations where Soccajoeys' Kids Soccer Classes are currently offered.
