Meet our Burleigh coaches!

We asked Coach Colin, who is the lead coach at our Burleigh venue, to tell us a bit about himself and his role with Little Kickers -

"Hi my name is Colin Moore, I immigrated from Northern Ireland to Gold Coast in December 2010. I commenced my playing career as a young boy at local soccer clubs and by the age of 16 years old I was playing at a semi-professional level for Ballymena United Football Club in the Northern Irish Premier Division. Following a successful and lengthy playing career, I retired from playing competitively and began coaching soccer to both children, adults and persons with disabilities. I have completed my coaching badges and training with the Irish Football association, which are accredited by UEFA. I thoroughly enjoy passing on my skills and knowledge of the game to young people and feel a great sense of achievement and satisfaction as I watch their skills develop and abilities progress. I have been coaching soccer in Australia for several months, and working with Little Kickers has been fun, exciting and a fulfilling experience. I look forward to seeing the organisation grow in the up and coming months, and many future "socceroos" being produced."

Kicking along next to Coach Colin, is Coach James, our assistant coach at Burleigh. This is what Coach James told us -

"Ever since I can remember my life has revolved around playing football. I started coaching at 15 with Primary School children and have been coaching at Little Kickers since the start of this year. The eagerness and excitement on the children's faces as they run through the door to learn new skills and form friendships makes my job enjoyable and rewarding. Little Kickers sessions are all about having fun while progressing in football from a very young age."
