FAQ

Common Questions

My child has never played soccer — is that okay? ▼
Absolutely. Soccajoeys is a non-competitive program and welcomes children of all abilities. Many of our most enthusiastic participants have never kicked a ball before. Our coaches start from the basics and build skills at each child's own pace.
What if my child misses a class? ▼
No worries! Missed classes can be made up at another session (subject to availability). Just contact us ahead of time and we'll arrange a suitable make-up class.
Are the classes really indoors? ▼
Yes — all Soccajoeys classes are held indoors. This means no cancelled sessions due to Ballarat's wet or cold weather, and a comfortable environment for both children and parents watching on.
Can siblings attend different age groups on the same day? ▼
Yes! Sunday at Emmaus Catholic Primary School is designed with families in mind — running three age groups back-to-back from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. A family with a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old can attend consecutive classes at the same venue on Sunday morning.
