We have just completed two terms at RSGK in Ashburton, and want to thank David, Ash and Lily. They are absolutely incredible with the children, so flexible and patient. David in particular is a natural with the kids and is firm and encouraging in an imaginative and fun way, that gets the best out of them, and is non judgemental when it’s one of those days. The range of sports and set up is excellent, and it’s a great all weather activity. Best suited for kids 2-4 in my opinion.

We have had a wonderful four years with Ready Steady Go between our two children. David Neves is a wonderful coach and facilitator and the kids have had a great time with him and all the other coaches at the Ashburton class.

David has an incredible energy and connection with the pre-schoolers. In stark contrast from another family who said to me "I hope your kid enjoys it more than ours" (in relation to their local RSGK experience; not Ashburton), David is the polar opposite of a negative experience. He is encouraging, with constant positive redirection that's needed for the younger kids who may not know what they're meant to be doing. My child thoroughly enjoyed his time at Ready Steady Go Ashburton and I only have positive things to say. I also really liked how the program introduces 10 basic sports skills from which the kids can explore the sport that they may gravitate to when they enter primary school. David is an amazing coach and more than well equipped to take a child though this. Thank you!

I have attended a Ready Steady Go Kids session with my 4 year old son for the last two terms. It is a fabulous programme which introduces kids to different sports in a fun and non-competitive atmosphere. David and Danielle are absolutely brilliant and I could not recommend them highly enough. They are full of energy, engaging and always make sure that every child feels included. They also manage to maintain the required level of discipline and to ensure that rules for safety etc are obeyed. The program is an outstanding example of how kids even at a very young age can begin to learn skills and movements which will become the foundation for later and more advanced participation in a particular sport. My son also loved the stamps on his hand at the conclusion of each session!

Fantastic sports program ! My kids have loved going to ready steady go classes at Ashburton. David and his team of coaches are wonderful - super encouraging, patient, creative and above all, they make sports super fun for the kids. We've been going for the last 3 years with my two sons and they absolutely enjoy it. During the week, they love showing dad some of the sporting activities & skills they've been learning, like their 'muscle man' throws and 'sausage in bread' AFL passes. The kids confidence levels have been boosted at least tenfold. My youngest was very shy when he first started, very clingy and not wanting to participate. But the coaches were wonderful, always positive and encouraging. And they made each part of the activities so fun and engaging - from warm up, to learning new sporting skills and the obstacle courses - that not before long, my son come out of his shell. Now l think he is probably one of the more rowdy ones in class LOL !! Superb coaches, extremely dedicated, enthusiastic and encouraging. David and his team of wonderful coaches, have laid a solid foundation for my kids as they now embark on a lifetime of healthy activity & sporting pursuits.

My son has attended this programme since the start of this year and really loves it. David & Danielle are excellent coaches who have a great rapport with the kids. They are very experienced at identifying the individual needs of each child and spend the time to encourage and guide each participant. My son was quite shy at the start but has really excelled and is now very excited every week about coming. His confidence and self esteem has really taken a leap as a result of this prog. I cannot fault any aspect of it and would highly recommend it.

My son loves Ready Steady Go, and can't wait to arrive each week. I first started bringing my children to David's classes 7 years ago, and throughout this time I have been impressed with David's ability to engage the children and make the classes exciting and fun. His assistant coaches are fantastic also, very professional at all times.

My son has attended Ready, Steady, GO this year and has had an amazing time. He's a little bit shy but David has such fantastic communication skills he's quickly built up a genuine rapport with my son and now he loves going. He's always running into the building because he can't wait to start. I couldn't recommend the program highly enough.

We had an amazing 2 terms with them and from a boy who was not interested in sports at all to him wanting to one day becoming a professional player, ready steady go kids have played a pivotal role in shaping my son. David and Louise are absolute superstars and will highly recommend them to every parent. The classes give a great introduction to different types of sports and provide the necessary confidence to the kids so that they enjoy sports and not just play because they are being asked to.

I am a grandparent who takes my 4 year old grandson to the Ready Steady Go classes at Ashburton. We have been going together for 2 years and I love going as much as my grandson does. The concept is brilliant with the children learning many different sporting codes. It is amazing how much my grandson has developed and learnt as well has becoming more confident in not only the ability to throw, catch, hit and run but listening and obeying rules. David and Louise exceed all expectations with the encouragement, care and kindness they show to all the children. The children learn but above all they have fun. I highly recommend this great concept at Ashburton Ready Steady Go Kids.
