About us
Making heroes
Sporting heroes aren’t just the players that score the goals, shoot the hoops or save the tries. They’re every player who gives their heart to the team and their best at a game.
herocards is a fun way of helping each player to realise the hero inside them: bring teams closer together and creating shared memories through collectible, personalised cards.
Kids will love them. In a one-of-a-kind set, they see both themselves and their teammates at their most awesome. A cross between playing cards like Pokemon and trading cards like those of pro-league icons, these packs will become high-value items to show off to family and friends.
Parents will love them, too. While mums and dads have never taken so many pictures of their kids thanks to digital technology, most of them end up on the cloud, never to be seen again. herocards are modern keepsakes that help parents remember and cherish the achievements of their little legends: on courts, fields and pitches, and no matter where they sit in the division table.
Founded by kids’ footy coach, dad and graphic designer Matt Caulfield, herocards is the coolest way to celebrate teams and the players that make them. herocards orders must be arranged by club managers or executives, and require the consent of all parents’ involved.
Matt Caulfield
Kids Soccer Coach/Manager
“Being a parent and entering my fifth year of coaching an under-11 team, I’ve realised that these years for young players are very special. They’re when friendships are forged, values are shaped and fun is the true winner of every match. I wanted to create something memorable, a moment in time captured, for children and parents to look back on and feel proud. With herocards, every child in the team is a sporting hero.”
