Pateka home Why Pateka

Built so kids fall in love with the game

Founded and led by head coach Dylan, Pateka grew out of a simple belief: football in Australia is growing faster than the chances kids get to play it. Building pathways for kids, from their first lunchtime kickabout to club football, is exactly what we are here to do.

What we stand for

Three things every session is built on

Pathways

A clear road from a first lunchtime session to club football, for the players who want to chase it.

Community

Teammates from your own school and suburb. Friendships come first, football makes them.

Joy

If the kids are not having fun, we are not doing our job. Every session ends with a game.
