SUCCESS FROM THE START
Our success story started off as a bit of fun and kicking a football in Victoria park during summer holidays.
The kids absolutely loved our passion and unique coaching skills, whilst the parents were impressed so much they demanded weekly coaching sessions – and just like that KEY Sports Academy was born!
The word on the street spread like wildfire and our classes increased from 20 to 120 players per week in less than 6 months.
Fast forward to 18 months and coaching over 250 players per week, we also formed KEY Sports Football Club with competitive teams playing in a local youth league.
Our weekly outdoor sessions run all year round, we don’t stop during school holidays.
