My FCGC Story - Helping my son show passion by Carly Jane (FCGC Parent)

Our Son has always been an active kid, even as a baby.
We have introduced him to many different sports over the years, but none of them seemed to give him enjoyment or a sense of belonging.

Our daughter had been attending FCGC for about 6 months, when a skills session in the holidays sounded perfect for our son.  
It was amazing to see the excitement and joy in his face.  He talked about it for about 1 hour afterwards.  We spoke to him about maybe a trail lesson, explaining it would be quite different to the very fun skill session he just did.  He didn’t even think about it, it was a solid YES.

His trail lesson was brilliant, lots of encouragement from coaches, small class sizes, demonstrations and best of all fun.  He came upstairs with a new found bounce in his step and the first words he said to us was “Can I keep it?” That was almost 1.5 years ago, and he is still just as passionate about lessons now.

​During this time he has had both male and female coaches.  I personally love that FCGC has so many male role models in such a female dominated sport.  Our son has learnt more than just fitness, strength, and balance.  He has learnt team skills, social skills, responsibility and community spirit.
