“This great game has given me so much. It’s given me a chance to travel and experience different cultures, grow and mature within myself, make life-long friends, and most of all allow me to do what I love….play football at a high level. I am very fortunate with the opportunities I have been blessed with.
Antonio Perri
Antonio is an up and coming footballing star, currently playing in the NSW mens NPL league. He has always had a passion for passing on his football knowledge. Antonio is currently studying Exercise Science and Physiology at university.
As I continue my football journey and continue to learn, another passion has evolved inside me. That passion is seeing boys and girls of all ages at all levels enjoy what I enjoy….the beautiful game of football. I believe that if I can improve one boy or girls lifestyle by helping them become more healthy and active, or fulfill their potential as a footballer, then coaching is all worthwhile and more of us should do it. “
