Parent Feedback

"I don’t know if I get more joy out of seeing my own child, or just the whole lot of them. It’s the smiles. They all smile every week, it’s a joy to watch."  - Ashley (Parent)

“We had no idea something like this existed and we never ever could have imagined that we would be able to be a part of something like this. As a parent of child with a disability, life isn’t often what you’d pictured, and some days I just want to be a “normal parent” and now every week for an hour I can come to footy, my kids can play and I can be one of the parents on the side line or up in the canteen talking and laughing with the other parents, I get to be normal for an hour, there’s no price you can put on that, it is actually priceless” Starkick Parent 

“It’s a space for us to be who we want to be, and know that there are people around us that understand.”  Lizzie (Parent) 

“It’s incredible for my children to be part of a community club. Both have been excluded in the past because of their Autism, but not here at Starkick” Kat  (Parent) 

“Starkick has saved our little boys life, he has found joy, friendship belonging and community that he never had before despite my many attempts in the past he has experienced acceptance and love from his team mates and coaches and he pushes himself every week to achieve everything in the sessions.”  Starkick Parent 

“The experience this provided my son was beyond describable in words. We Don't go out a lot as a family as the logistics can be difficult. The looks on all the kids faces that day not just my own and the smiles and the laughs that they had are special memories that every family will take away with them for their children. We were very grateful for this opportunity.” -  Amanda (Parent) 

"I cannot express the absolute joy this has brought to Aidan and our family. It has been such a wonderful time for us all. Thank you for starting Starkick. Thank you for being such an advocate for these amazing kids. Thank you for taking the time to know each player’s name – which is a massive feat in itself.  Who knew when he started playing footy five years ago that it would lead to this?" - Tam (Parent)
