"WE DREAM OF A WORLD WHERE ORGANISATIONS LIKE OURS DON'T NEED TO EXIST"
Welcome to Rainbow Roos! We’re more than just a soccer program - we offer a fun, inclusive, and adaptable skills-based approach for children as young as two, all the way through to adults.
With experience working with children with additional needs, we provide personalised support to ensure every player feels valued, supported, and ready to enjoy the game at their own pace.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, our coaching team is dedicated to nurturing both skills and confidence.
MEET THE TEAM
BRAD - Head Coach & Founder
Rainbow Roos founder, Brad Ambridge, has been involved in soccer from the moment he could walk! Born and raised in the UK, he played at a high standard throughout his childhood and teens, with injury unfortunately preventing any further progress up the ladder. This ultimately resulted in a successful career of coaching.​​
RYAN - MiniRoos Assistant Coach

JESS - Office Support & NDIS Admin

ROSIE - Roos Assistant Dog & Mascot
Meet Rosie, the Rainbow Roos sausage dog!
A registered assistance pup in training, Rosie is a regular at our Goonellabah and Ballina sessions. She adores the kids, offers gentle support to those who need it, and never says no to a cuddle - or a cheesy chicken treat! Rosie’s waggy tail and wet tongue brings smiles, comfort, and plenty of puppy love.
Rainbow Roos Committee
We are lucky to be supported in what we do by a fantastic six-person
committee made up of local parents, business owners and experienced individuals. All passionate about the incredible work that Rainbow Roos does in the community, they make decisions on such things as large-scale purchases, policy changes, structure reviews and much more. The team meet regularly to ensure a continuous flow of success and progression.
