FAQ

Q: My child has never played soccer before/never been registered at South Yarra SC, can she still participate?

A: Of course! This program is designed to be an easy, relaxed and fun introduction to football. Our focus will be on fun and core skills, with no previous experience required.

Q: How will the program be structured?

A: Our Term 4 program runs for 9 weeks, with one session a week from October 15 to December 12. We’ll spend two weeks on each core skill (First Touch, Running With The Ball, Striking The Ball and 1v1s), with difficulty catered specifically for each age group.

Q: As a parent, do I need to stay for the whole session, or can a drop off and pick up my children?

A: While we’d love to have you watch these superstars in action, you can drop off/pick up if you need to. Each session with have a club representative to sign your child in and out. You will need to notify us if someone else is picking up your children in advance.
