A little insight into what goes on at Kicks & Dreams 👀

One of the biggest misconceptions about Kicks & Dreams is that we’re just a football club… ⚽
Maybe the name gives that impression — but we’re so much more than that.

We are a community built on:
✨ Social connection & community building
🫶 Creating a safe space where everyone can express themselves
🤝 Learning new skills & building lasting friendships
💪 Exercising and enjoying all the physical & mental benefits that come with it
🎉 And most importantly… HAVING FUN!

High energy.
100% effort.
Every single session.

That’s the Kicks & Dreams way 💙

For kids with additional needs, communication is especially important because it supports understanding, confidence, and inclusion in everyday life.

I tried to get a the message across in the video that communication and instructions need to be clear and precise to each individual or else it can get confusing or overwhelming especially for our members. When we coach we make sure to:

Using clear, patient, and flexible communication—such as visuals, simple language, repetition, gestures, or movement—helps every child access activities in a way that suits them. When communication is adapted to the child, it opens the door for them to thrive, take part, and enjoy success at their own pace 💬💙

Why communication is important for kids with additional needs
• It helps them express their needs, feelings, and choices
• It reduces frustration, anxiety, and challenging behaviours
• It supports understanding of routines, rules, and expectations
• It helps them feel safe, valued, and listened to
• It builds trust between the child and adults/peers
