100 come and try soccer
WET weather didn’t ruin Football Queensland’s ‘come and try day’ day as six city-based clubs had the chance to meet one-on-one with 100-plus people
Leichhardt Juniors, Stratford Dolphins, Marlin Coast, Edge Hill, Redlynch Strikers and Southside Comets took part in the event last weekend.
Children new to the game of football, from three to teens, took part in games and drills coached by FQ staff.
North general manager Craig Ramage said the day was “a resounding success”.
“The event drew in around 100 attendees, including brand new participants to the sport, and even attracted individuals new to the city or region,” he said.
“The day provided a fantastic opportunity for kids to experience the thrill of kicking a ball around and discover their love for the game.
“A huge thank you to Football Queensland’s region manager Sarah Campbell and participation officer James Sangma for their outstanding efforts in making this event a triumph.”
