ABOUT STEP2PLAY
MISSION
At Step2Play, our mission is to help young players grow in confidence, skill, and character through high-quality soccer coaching.
We believe sport is a powerful tool for development — not just physically, but socially and personally — and we are committed to creating environments where every player feels supported, challenged, and motivated to improve.
Through structured coaching, positive role models, and a strong community focus, Step2Play provides young athletes with the tools they need to succeed both on and off the pitch.
VISION
“To develop confident, capable, and respectful young athletes by combining expert coaching, structured development pathways, and strong leadership values.”
Our vision is to become a trusted development partner for schools, clubs, and families, supporting the next generation of players through enjoyable, safe, and purposeful soccer programs.
WHO WE ARE
Step2Play is a youth soccer development program based in Adelaide, South Australia, working with players aged 6–17across schools, clubs, and private training environments.
We specialise in delivering age-appropriate coaching that balances technical skill development with enjoyment, confidence, and leadership growth. Our programs are designed to complement school sport and grassroots football, providing players with consistent training and clear pathways for improvement.
All Step2Play sessions are delivered by qualified coaches who are First Aid trained and hold Working With Children Checks, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for every participant.
