Kyle is an amazing coach. He works well with kids and engages them with great enthusiasm. A passionate coach who gives his all.

Our son loves learning from Kyle and his soccer skills and game awareness has improved immensely since starting at Mastery about a year ago. We feel the program is affordable and excellent value for money. The opportunities are endless — we competed in a National League in Sydney earlier this year and can't wait for more!

My son's been attending the academy for just over a month now and has gained so much from it. He often says he'd rather train with the academy than his club soccer training. The coaches' attention to detail with the kids and drive to push them really shows through in his development. Highly recommend to any parent wanting to push their kid's skills a little more!

The holiday camp at Mastery Football Academy was great on so many levels. My daughter said she thought it was going to be easy and fun, but it was hard and fun! The coaches were very encouraging and the drills were well thought out. Would recommend!

The development I have seen since my son joined is remarkable. It's his 3rd year playing with a club, but after 6 months not only have his skills increased but his awareness and confidence too, and this has been noticed as it's transferred into his team as well.

The holiday clinic, outdoor and indoor soccer sessions during school term are fantastic experiences for kids. Our boy loves it and enjoys coming back every time. Kyle and the coaches are experienced not just in soccer but in leading young players to focus, learn and enjoy the sport. Totally worth it!

Very fast and effective help when you need it, the app is very user friendly and easy to use. And the atmosphere is just amazing — and it's only a two minute walk to training.

We're brand new to training, and our son wanted an activity to boost his confidence without the commitment of weekly soccer matches. Kyle and the team have been incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and quick to respond to our questions. George absolutely loved his first session and couldn't wait to return! Highly recommend.

We have two boys that have been players at this academy for a number of years, and throughout that time they have always wanted to be involved in everything — holiday, training, elite and overseas programs that Mastery offers. We've seen significant growth in them, both in the game itself and personally. Thank you Coach Kyle and the team!

I had a fantastic time at the Mastery Football Academy clinic during the school holidays. The coaches were brilliant at developing our skills using one-on-one drills and competitive matches. This made it really fun, and I enjoyed playing with the other kids too. My dribbling, passing and shooting have all improved a lot!

Tyler absolutely loves going to soccer. It's been hard to find something he sticks with, but every Friday he cannot wait to go — forcing me to drop him off early! It's great to receive feedback via the app so Tyler knows what he's done well and what to improve on. I love that we can swap lessons up to an hour before too.

My son has only been at the academy for 2 terms and the improvement and confidence he has gained from just attending Monday nights has been the best thing for him. I highly recommend — the coaches are great at teaching them the skills, footwork and drills to help them improve their soccer.

Coaches are outstanding, and follow a good system of player development. Both my sons participate in Mastery football academy and the attention and coaching advice they're given are on point every time. I'm also a qualified coach and find benefit observing the sessions. They encourage playing with both feet. Highly recommended.

Our son loves Kyle and his team at Soccer Mastery. The Mt Barker facilities are top notch, and our son has since joined Kyle's Elite city team and loves it.
