At Rainbow Roos, we make soccer fun and rewarding for children of all ages. Our exciting sessions blend learning with entertainment, allowing parents to sit back and watch their child&#39;s skills grow. Our mission statement is passionate:&quot;Empowering families, celebrating abilities and creating a community that values diversity and inclusion.&quot; Rainbow Roos is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive soccer environment for kids and adults alike. Our programs are designed to foster a love for the game while developing essential skills. We are incredibly proud and honoured to be a local not-for-profit organisation, meaning that our over-arching purpose is to give back 100% of profits to the region in as many ways as possible, but particularly by eventually being able offer subsidised/free sessions to those in need. Access to quality and safe sports shouldn&#39;t have any restrictions. We aim to provide accessibility to as many children and families as possible, with absolutely no discrimination against age, gender, sexuality, background, upbringing, financial circumstances, ability and many more. A huge part of our work is giving an opportunity to those with physical and/or neurological disabilities to be able to join in with &#39;everyday&#39; sporting activities. We break down any perceived barriers with physicality, anxiety and social challenges by creating a safe space where the children are educated that everyone is unique and that it is &quot;ok to be different&quot;. We are proud to see multiple friendships form that otherwise would not have happened and even see children opening up with one another about their difficulties and how they can overcome them. As well as our group sessions, we provide private NDIS bookings, pre-school activities, school curriculum programs and free/subsidised school holiday care. Fundraising will be used to continue to provide what we do and grow our sessions further afield within the Northern Rivers. In a region that is still recovering from the devastating floods of 2022, we want to ensure that every child, that wants to play soccer, has access without being restricted by costs, kits or cultural diversity etc.
