We've been so lucky to have Rainbow Roos as part of our Vacation Care program in the holidays. Brad's holistic and adaptable approach to coaching, ensures all capabilities and needs are supported and celebrated. No child is left behind.
He is super organised and runs his sessions with an impressive sense of professionalism, while always keeping it fun, the energy high and a big smile on his face. We recommend Rainbow Roos to any family with children who love to move, learn new skills, make great friends and as a bonus you will find yourself part of an awesome inclusive community. The kids can't get enough, Thanks Brad!
​
"The structure, organisation and presentation of the sessions is amazing. Both the BabyRoos and MiniRoos sessions include age appropriate activities to have fun and build skill. Both my kids leave with a feeling of fulfilment and pride in their abilities and I truly think that is due to the skills Brad has with managing multiple kids with different skill level and understanding of soccer, whilst making sure everyone feels included and capable. Brads experience and knowledge is obvious from the moment he steps on to the pitch."
​
"My son has been going to the Rainbow Roos for a few weeks now and after session one begged me to book him in for an 8 week block. He is an anxious child that often struggles with new experiences but this was not the case with Rainbow Roos, Brad creates such a safe, welcoming and fun environment that my son was keen to participate. Brad is also very in tune with the kids my sons anxiety often comes across as silliness and being
overly distracted, Brad gets down on his level and quietly redirects him in a gentle and subtle way that works well for my son.
His skills both socially and physically are already improving and he is gaining more confidence when on the field at with his other soccer team.
Brad offers so much more than your traditional soccer club, he is qualified and compassionate and enthusiastic when it comes to soccer, while we love our other soccer team it can not offer the same level of skills that Brad can as it is parent volunteer and we are often learning as we go.
Brad's program is such an asset to our community and our youth, giving them a safe, inclusive space that allows all children to pursue their interest in soccer."

"My family has been so delighted to have Brad Ambridge at Mini Roo’s be my children’s soccer coach! He is a fountain of enthusiasm and his exuberance and talent for teaching has so benefited my 7 and 6 year old. They were both very apprehensive to join a soccer class but Brad’s care and skill has meant smiles from day one and a growing confidence which is so heart warming to see.
Thank you Brad for you dedication and for sharing your coaching skills with our community and our children. We so appreciate it!"
​
"My daughter absolutely loves her weekly sessions with Coach Brad! Brad has a natural rapport with children of all ages and has created an environment for the kids that is positive, fun and structured. He makes a 45 minute session managing 15 kids look easy yet this achievement is clearly due to his experience and love for what he does. Very grateful for Rainbow Roos!"
​
"Rainbow Roos has been the perfect introduction to a group sports activity for our 6 year old. If it wasn’t for Brad’s fun, encouraging and inclusive approach, there is no way that our son would have participated. In a relatively short space of time (8 week Mini Roos sessions), our son has grown tremendously from this experience, physically, emotionally and socially, and is super pumped for each session. Thanks Brad, here’s to more aspiring Mini Roos!"
​
"Brad has hit a hole in the market in this area of the Northern Rivers NSW. My 5yr old son is not ready emotionally for real competition or serious soccer yet. Brad has come along with a group for 5-9yr olds which is light and fun, keeping the kids happy and entertained.
During this time Brad is more than capable in keeping their attention and teaching them useful and fun skills to prepare them for the next stage of competitive club soccer. My son has only done 3 sessions but is always asking what day of the week it is because he wants to play soccer. He has made some good friends there already. He also says Brad is really fun and funny!
Keep up the good work Brad. Here's hoping for an indoor place for those rainy days."
​
My son has only just started rainbow roos but so far he has had a really good time. Being only young his attention span doesn’t quite last the whole class and Brad is excellent with still keeping him involved while also being flexible in allowing my son to kick his own ball and do his own stuff while also continuing to run the rest of the class.
My son felt instantly at ease in class and this doesn’t happen in many situations at all. Thanks for providing a fun, play based, affordable after school sport for the kids to enjoy!
​
Brad is great with the kids. My son thought he was funny, kind, a great coach and his teaching style was engaging. The session was well organised and easy to book. The price was so affordable and we have booked in for next terms weekly coaching. This is such a great opportunity as we have nothing like it in our region. Email communication was fast and Brad was well organised and helpful.
​
Brad was inviting and cheerful. He made the session fun and playful for the kids and adapted the games to their ages appropriately. The session we attended my girl had so much fun and woke up the next day asking if we were going to soccer again.​
