Meet a Little Kicker Coach - Coach Kitty




Coach Kitty our Assistant Coach at Southport has this to say about Little Kickers!

Prior to starting at Little Kickers I was living in America for a year playing soccer.  We played soccer daily as well as helped out as volunteer coaches for children. I have also played in Japan and Korea,  all these international experiences have given me a great insight into how different countries approach the game of soccer, making me a better coach and player.

I am a very competitive athlete and have played soccer throughout my life. Starting at a young age playing with my brothers, I learnt valuable skills that have helped me become the best soccer player I can be. I believe the development of basic skills at a young is vital in how a child will perform in all physical activities throughout their life. Little Kickers is giving children the chance to learn and experience a fantastic sport in a fun and energetic environment.  

My favourite Little Kickers game would have to be Crocodiles, where the children dribble around the court whilst the coaches chase after them. The excitement and thrill the children get out of this activity is a perfect example of how learning can be fun. The children’s improvement that I witness from week to week is definitely and seeing their smiling faces is definitely the best part of coaching at Little Kickers.
