A month out from theFIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™, Football Tasmania has announced three regional gala days for girls in primary school who want to come and try football during the school holidays.
The gala days will be held in Hobart on Wednesday, 19 July at Wentworth Park; Launceston on Thursday 20 July at Birch Avenue, and in Devonport on Friday 21 July at Meercroft Park.
Two 2-hour sessions will be held each day; from 10am – midday for 6-9 year olds, and 1pm-3pm for 10-12 year olds, consisting of ten-minute, four-aside games.
Players can register individually ($6) or as a team of up to six players ($30).
Football Tasmania Development officer Chelsea Wing said: “These sessions are designed for all girls aged between 6 and 12, regardless of their experience in football. We welcome beginners, former and current players to the gala days.
“We know there’ll be lots of girls out there who are excited about the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia, and seeing the Matildas play.
“Sessions like these are the perfect way to try a new sport – the children will learn through short, structured games, and will hopefully enjoy it so much that they sign up to play next season.”
