Rainbow Roos started with a simple belief: everyone deserves the opportunity to play, belong and have fun.
What began with a single weekly session in Lismore has grown into an award-winning registered charity delivering inclusive programs across the Northern Rivers, Gold Coast and Brisbane. From toddlers taking their first kicks to teenagers, adults, NDIS participants, schools and entire communities, we create opportunities for people to get involved in a way that works for them.
We do things a little differently. There are no trials, no pressure to keep up and no expectation that everyone should learn or participate in the same way. We adapt what we do around the person in front of us, using soccer, movement, play and plenty of imagination to build confidence, connection and positive experiences.
And while we’ve grown quickly, the reason we exist hasn’t changed.
Fun first. People always. Everyone welcome.
