What Families Are Saying

Fantastic Experience at MEKA Football

We’ve had such a fantastic experience with MEKA. Since joining, both of my sons have improved immensely, not just in their technical skills, but also in their overall confidence on and off the field. They really look forward to their sessions each week; the enthusiasm they have for training really speaks volumes about the environment that has been created.

The training is incredibly well structured, with a strong focus on skill development and game awareness. What stands out most is how clearly the drills and exercises translate into their club soccer games. We’ve noticed a real difference in their decision-making, positioning, and overall performance during matches.

A special thank you to Keith for his ongoing support and encouragement. His positive approach and genuine investment in the kids’ development make such a difference. We are so grateful to be part of the MEKA community and couldn’t recommend the academy more highly - Jess Newman

My Sons Favourite Night of the Week

My son has been at MEKA Football Academy from day 1 and we couldn’t not be happier with the program!

Keith and Erick truly want to help all the kids improve their soccer skills while at the same time providing a fun, friendly environment for all the kids (and parents).

It’s easy to sign up, great communication and two of the most genuine coaches you will find! My sons favourite night of the week is Wednesday Night training at MEKA! Thank you team! - Steve Beluga Finance

Our experience with MEKA has been fantastic.

The coaches Keith and Erick are patient, encouraging, and truly understand how to work with young kids.

They focus not just on skills, but also on teamwork, confidence, and having fun, which makes a huge difference at this age. The training sessions are also well-organised. - Antonio Brancato

As a Coach & Parent: MEKA is a Great Place for Young Players to Grow

As both a coach and a parent, I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand the incredible impact MEKA Football Academy has on young players and I can’t speak highly enough of the environment they’ve created. From a coaching perspective, the structure, attention to detail, and genuine focus on player development are outstanding.

Every session is purposeful, well-organised, and designed to challenge players at the right level while still keeping the love of the game front and centre. It’s clear the coaches are not only knowledgeable, but also deeply invested in each child’s growth, both technically and mentally. As a parent, it’s even more rewarding to watch my own son thrive in this environment.

His confidence, skill level, and understanding of the game have improved since joining. More importantly, he genuinely looks forward to every session—something that speaks volumes about the positive culture MEKA has built. What really sets MEKA apart is the balance they strike between high standards and genuine care for the players. They develop not just better footballers, but well-rounded, disciplined, and motivated young people. I would wholeheartedly recommend MEKA Football Academy to any family looking for a professional, supportive, and inspiring place for their child to grow in the game. - Michael Abas

A Coach Who Truly Cares

My son has trained with Erick for three years and the improvement has been remarkable. Erick is more than a coach, he’s a mentor. His ability to develop both technical skills and real confidence sets him apart. My son's ball control, positioning, and game awareness are on another level, and most importantly, he believes in himself now. Couldn’t recommend Erick more - Tino Cavasinni

Professional, Positive Coaching

Erick played a key role in preparing my two sons for the transition from community football into NPL youth football. Over two seasons, he created a unique coaching environment built on passion, care, and a genuine love for the game.

He has a strong ability to teach game-realistic drills and football intelligence, while also showing how the lessons of football apply to life. Erick helped my sons build confidence, express themselves, and strive to be the best they can be on and off the field - John Pierobon

Confidence and Care in Every Session

My son loves training with MEKA. He has developed so much and improved in leaps and bounds. Each session is fantastic, and the coaches treat every player with care while building their confidence.

I highly recommend it - Peter Mittiga
