We are passionate about giving young children the best possible start in life through a combination of exercise and education, and we also have a passion for business and the business of franchising. We believe that, when done well, franchising can be an amazing partnership of like-minded individuals, all pulling in the same direction to achieve the same vision; giving more children more opportunities and a great head start in life.

The best advice I've ever taken is, if you do what you love, you'll never work another day in your life. Having worked in the industry part time for 5 years before becoming a WeeKicks franchisee, I knew that I wanted to make it my full time occupation.
As a young coach I needed direction and support to take my existing knowledge as a coach to the next level and make my vocation my career as a business owner.
Having flexible hours allows me to take charge of my time, which is a fantastic way to balance all the other aspects of my life that I enjoy.
