Strike Sports

Helping young people thrive through fun, sports-based learning environments that create healthy habits for life

Since 2014, we’ve grown from a small family-run coaching service into one of Melbourne’s most trusted youth sports organisations. Today, we deliver soccer, AFL, MMA and wrestling coaching alongside our personal training services and our community engagement programs across Metro Melbourne and Youth Justice Precincts.

Created for young footballers ready to elevate their game
