WHo and wHAT is KANO
KANO is an Australian football (soccer) organisation empowering the grassroots level. KAno (Formerly T3 Australia) was founded in July 2011 by Ehsan Popal and Matt Sim to develop non elite community level. KANO is dedicated to increasing the standards of grassroots (non-elite) football.
Kano has grown from 3 coaches to 60 coaches, with it’s programs operating in sydney and melbourne.
OUR aim is to help community clubs & schools assist development on and off the field.
Our focus is not targeted at elite players, but at all abilities. By bridging the gap between the highly skilled and less skilled abilities the overall level of ability, satisfaction and participation in the sport is increased with a greater pool of skilled children.
KAno is driven by meaning and purpose. Kano means possible. kano is possible.
“Love the ball first”
Coaching & Teaching Philosophy
With strong expertise in, and a deep understanding of, the development process of school children, KAno has created a unique learning philosophy centred around building a positive football environment for each child. The football environment is the formation of key influences that will give optimum opportunity for a child to develop skills and maximise their enjoyment with the round ball.
Developing in a environment where learning technique and skills is fun is a key priority. our goal is for all children to enjoy the game for many years to come. Our coaches are passionate teachers of the game who support children on the field by demonstrating skills and providing a positive environment where they can naturally grow. Parents play a significant role in our philosophy. they are key mentors and can help instil good soccer habits at home.
