Needless to say the kids involved were excited to see Andre, and he was more than happy to spend some time having his photo taken and signing hats and shirts.

Then it was down to business and Andre moved around each of the four TFA groups and spent the whole 75 mins interacting with the coaches and demonstrating the session-s skills to the kids. All the kids, parents and coaches left the session with big smiles on their faces, having been able to spend some time with Andre and learn some new skills from the TFA session. Greg Marsh ‘Promotions Officer and Coach- of the TFA program being hosted by Umina United Soccer Club said that “Andre-s visit provided a big lift to the days session, he spent one on one time with each of the kids and even the coaches learnt a thing or two”.
