How 'The Rascals' of Melrose Park have taken their traumatic journey and turned it into a positive
Produced by ABC National Sports Editor David Mark
If you need some good news, this one is for you.
It's a piece I did about the Melrose Park Under 13s soccer club. A team made up almost exclusively of young Afghan refugees who were forced to flee the country when the Taliban took over. Many have lost one parent or both then.The club has given them some grounding in Australia and purpose after a traumatic few years.
Their coach, Zarar, is an inspiration who was recently awarded a human rights award for his work with the boys.
