For kids, making friends is an important part of social development. Mackillop Unites provides not only the opportunity for kids to make friends, but also find a place where they can belong, build self-esteem and confidence.

Playing soccer helps kids build valuable life skills, such as hard work, decision-making, problem-solving, and communication. Through healthy competition, it also teaches the importance of teamwork and cooperation, balanced by good sportsmanship.

It’s well-established that sports and exercise help students perform better in the classroom. Their concentration and focus are improved, especially when playing a sport like soccer. Soccer is a fast-paced game, so kids learn how to solve problems quickly and efficiently. Plus, because it involves getting the ball from point A to point B, their visual-spatial awareness is improved at the same time!

Soccer is a fun activity that helps kids stay active. With physical activity comes many health benefits like muscular development, but it’s also important for kids to learn motor skills like coordination and balance all whilst having a great time!
