Kookas (for ages 3 - 5 in 2024)

Kookas is a fun introduction to football skills through play based activities.

The Kookas program focuses on coordination, skills, fun and enjoyment, non-competitiveness, the development of locomotor and non-locomotor physical movements and introductory skills in football.

Kookas runs during school terms only with no sessions held during the school holidays.

When: Every Saturday morning at PHFC

Dates: 20 April 2024 - 6 September 2024

Time: 8.30am - 9.15am

Where: Field 2

There is no training for this group and Kookas do not play fixtures against other clubs.

Please note: No glass bottles, chairs, dogs or prams are permitted on the field. Spectators are to remain behind the fences at all time.

Suitable for children who have turned 3 and are up to the age of 5 in 2024. Young players who turn 6 years old in 2024 are unable to participate in Kookas. Instead, they play in the U6 age group as per Football Queensland guidelines.

Parental/Guardian involvement is required for most age groups within Kookas, so don't forget your runners. Parents are encouraged to get involved and be part of these sessions, so that our young Kookas are well supported on the field. In 2024, Kookas will be hosted and organized by Jason Tomins, who is one of PHFC's dedicated and experienced coaches in both our Junior Technical Development team coaches, as well as a coach with the Senior U23 FQPL Women and a coach with the Football Queensland in school program.

The season cost is $195 - Registration is by the club system only.

Kookas can wear either runners or boots to participate.
