GO Soccer Mums is designed for women to play in a social and judgment-free environment. It's not just for mums but for all women from all walks of life. It doesn't matter if you've never kicked a ball before!
To celebrate our GO Soccer Mums community, we're gathering stories from participants and sharing one per month with our wider football family. Today, Mai Tran from the Keilor Park Soccer Club speaks about the benefits the program has provided her.
The program is important to me as it gave me an opportunity to challenge myself, try out new things, test my limits and improve my health.
I have gained lots of friends and met talented people. It allowed my hidden abilities to reveal itself as I played my best in a sport I had no experience in but loved to try.
The program allowed many mothers in the community to be able to achieve their dreams of playing soccer and a break from all the work and stress. It allowed all participants to socialise in a diverse community bringing enjoyment and understanding.
I love Go Soccer Mums because I really had fun while playing and overall my health just got so much better, especially after the COVID period. I was so proud to be part of the winning team at the Go Soccer Mums Cup.
Thank you Keilor Park Soccer Club for investing in women and facilitating this program.
The Keilor Park SC GoSoccerMums coach Pina said Mai is simply amazing.
"She had never kicked a ball and her beautiful daughter just continued to encourage her and now she has more guts than anyone I have seen."
