Over the past few months, Leisure Networks has partnered with Football Victoria to deliver All Abilities “Come and Try” programs across 9 clubs in the Barwon region — opening the door for more people to experience the joy of football.
At one of these sessions , a parent shared how meaningful the experience at the
Barwon Heads Soccer Club has been for her son:
"It’s so heartwarming to see Ned enjoying his first sport… we’ve tried so many settings before, but this is the first with huge success."
For a child who can find group environments overwhelming, having a space where he can feel safe, build confidence, and simply enjoy the game is incredibly powerful. ⚽
A big thank you to all the clubs, coaches and volunteers making moments like this possible every day — just like Ned. Because everyone deserves the chance to play, connect and belong
