Soccer club hosting Football4All gala day at new inclusive facility

CATERING to male and female players with a disability, North Bankstown Soccer Club (NBSC) will be hosting a Football4All gala day at Yagoona’s Graf Park next Saturday for five to 16-year-olds.

Run in partnership with the Recreation Sports & Aquatic Club and the council, the program provides inclusive playing opportunities in a safe and secure environment at the soccer club’s new facility.
With a basic skills session and games, the afternoon will also feature food and loads of opportunities to make new friends and even surprise yourself.
NBSC president Catherine Kearns says the focus will be on participation through the physical activity, encouragement, social interaction, activities and getting a taste of the game.
“Game leaders or mentors will assist players during the activities and parents and caregivers are also invited to come along,” she said.
“The skills activities are designed to be both interesting and challenging but without exceeding player abilities.”
After the tryout afternoon on Saturday, February 11, 3-5pm, players can sign up for the 2023 season starting on Saturday, February 17, with kick-off at 3pm.
“We’re so excited to be offering this opportunity to young people as it’s a fantastic way to help the participants improve their self-esteem and gain a sense of value and purpose,” Kearns said.
