Yes! Our age groups are a guide only. We place children based on their development, confidence, experience, and ability to participate comfortably with others in the group.

Not at all. Our programs are designed for children of all skill levels, from complete beginners through to children preparing for club soccer.

We recommend you to enrol in the closest age group ( e.g. 4.5 yrs old child to be enrolled in our pint size 4-5 yrs old program) during our first training sessions coaches can help determine the best fit based on your child's development, confidence, and soccer experience. We are happy to recommend the most suitable group.

Once your registration is complete, you'll receive an email with your invoice, start date, session time, and venue details. You'll also be invited to join our WhatsApp community group and receive an information pack email before the term begins.

Yes. Trial places are limited and may incur a small $10 trial fee to secure your spot (refundable or adjustable fee ). If your child continues with the program, this fee can be credited towards your term fees. If you decide to not continue, then the $10 fee is refunded back.

In some circumstances, yes. Short-term enrolments may be available at the discretion of the Head Coach.

We use soccer as a fun way to develop:

• Soccer skills
• Coordination and balance
• Accountability and responsibility
• Confidence and resilience
• Teamwork and communication
• Listening and following instructions

Each week focuses on a new skill through engaging games and activities.

Our mission is to empower children through sport by creating a positive environment where they can learn soccer skills, build confidence, develop friendships, and enjoy being active.

No. Grasshopper Soccer is a developmental soccer program focused on learning, confidence, and enjoyment rather than competition and league results.

Yes. In our 5+ yrs programs, children participate in small-sided, non-competitive games. These matches help children apply what they've learned, develop game awareness, improve decision-making, and build confidence in a fun and supportive environment.

For our 2-4yrs program we introduce the 1vs1 game play

We typically run four terms per year, aligned closely with the school calendar.

Mite-E (Ages 2-3)

A fun introduction to movement, coordination, balance, listening skills, and soccer basics through music and engaging activities.

Pint Size (Ages 4-5)

Children learn the fundamentals of soccer in a fun, supportive, and non-competitive environment while building confidence and teamwork.

Intro to Micro (Ages 5-6)

Players begin developing more advanced soccer skills while being introduced to teamwork, game awareness, and simple tactics.

Micro (Ages 6-8)

A structured program focusing on technical skills, creativity, communication, game understanding, and confidence in match situations.

Micro Plus (Ages 8-12)

The next step in our development pathway. Players continue refining their technical skills while building tactical awareness, leadership, decision-making, teamwork, and confidence in more challenging game scenarios. This program helps prepare children for club soccer and future development opportunities.

The Journey Continues:

By this stage, players have built strong foundations, confidence, and a love for the game. Many are ready to take the next step by attending local club trials, joining community teams, and applying the skills, teamwork, and resilience they have developed throughout their Grasshopper Soccer journey.______________

We offer makeup sessions at another Grasshopper Soccer location where available. We simply ask for at least 24 hours' notice so we can ensure adequate coach support.

If weather or ground conditions are unsafe, the session will be postponed and a makeup session will be scheduled later in the term. Families will be notified as early as possible.

Most programs run during school terms. Occasionally a session may fall within a holiday period, and we will communicate this well in advance.

For our 2-4 year old programs, parents play a supporting role by encouraging and guiding their child. You won't be expected to play soccer, but your involvement helps children feel comfortable and confident.

Absolutely. We value all feedback and continuously strive to improve. Please contact the Head Coach if you'd like to share feedback. If you've enjoyed your experience, we'd greatly appreciate a Google or Facebook review.

All coaches complete a thorough recruitment process and bring coaching, sporting, or early childhood experience. Our team is passionate about creating positive experiences for children both on and off the field.

We recommend children wear their Grasshopper Soccer uniform where possible. Comfortable sports shoes, runners, or football boots are all suitable.

Uniforms can be collected during your training session. We generally carry a full range of sizes throughout the term.

We offer both indoor and outdoor programs depending on the location. Please check the enrolment page for venue-specific details.

Yes! Referrals are one of the biggest reasons our Grasshopper Soccer family continues to grow. We regularly offer referral promotions, and families currently receive a $10 discount for each additional child enrolled from the same household.
