Starkick caters for children who by circumstance or choice are unable to join into an existing Football program. Children who may need extra support or time to achieve their goals are supported by a team of volunteers.
Starkick aims to cater for all disabilities and runs by a simple mantra –
“If you want to play we will find a way”
