Testimonials
"My two Boys started when they where 3&4 years old and are part of ASFA for 4 years. In this time I have seen Martin practicing and delivering and incredible block building program. He has great awareness and amazing skills in understanding and coaching kids in a way I haven't experienced before. His technical and tactical skills are of a very high standard on a national and international level. The proof of his work, knowledge and skills are undeniable. His players have been very rewarded with their great individual development as well as team development through training, games and tournaments. To coach and teach in a progressive way from a very early age on all the way up to teenage level is key to a successful player development and Martin has already demonstrated and achieved beyond this with his very high and professional standards.

"Martin has been coaching our 11 year old son Kyle for the last 3.5 years within the All-Stars Football Academy. The academy produces stand out players in all age grades whom compete in top divisions locally and in international tournaments through ASFA, reflective of Martin’s ability to impart skills through well structured drills and challenging while conducive to learning environment. Players/athletes are constantly encouraged to challenge and improve themselves. Martin’s dedication to develop players to their fullest potential is second to none. Kyle has seen great growth as an athlete and skill acquisition which would have been impossible without Martin's hard work and dedication. Kyle’s upcoming week long training stint with A-league’s Central Coast Mariners Academy is a testament to Martin’s ability as a coach.

"Our son, Ashton, has been a member of the All-Stars Football Academy for over four years. From when he joined, Martin has impressed us with his dedication and commitment to the development of his players. Through his coaching, Ashton has learned teamwork, discipline and focus. His respect for Martin is evident every time Ashton gives his all and works outside of his comfort zone.
Ashton has had many international opportunities through his involvement in All-Stars. From trips across the Tasman for the Sydney International Cup to his very current trip to the Rangers Academy in Glasgow, Scotland. We are proud of Ashton's development as he always gives his all. However, we realise that such opportunities for growth and development would not have been possible without the time and energy put in by Martin.
