Holiday Football and Futsal

Football and Futsal continued with their activities during the school Holidays.

Johnny Warren Futsal Cup

In the first week of the school holiday, the Under 9 and Under 10 Futsal Club teams were identified as leading clubs in the local futsal leagues on the Gold Coast. In the tournament, our Spartans versed teams from all over Queensland. Both teams had played four full matches over two days.

Overnight Football and Futsal Camp

In the second week of the holiday, we had a total of 30 students joining the overnight football and futsal camp. Our first overnight camp in 2021 was a success and 2022 was once again, a success. The coaches organised futsal and football activities in the morning and afternoon. After all activities we had our recovery in the swimming pool. A long day of sport made us hungry; we made our way to the dining hall. During dinner we watched the World Cup highlights. Before sleep, we watched movies. 

We want to thank our Somerset Head Chef Martin Furlong for the Dinner and Breakfast during the camp.

Futsal Club

The Futsal club continued training in December and January. Many students took the opportunity to keep improving their skills during the school break. The coaches designed sessions that are fun and challenging for all students. The matches were also on during the break, thank you to all the students for helping out the other teams that were short with students due to the holidays.

Football Club

Club Football will commence Week Five in Term One. In 2023 we enter teams in the Football Queensland South Coast Miniroos competition. The FQ South Coast Miniroos competition uses small sided games with teams playing 4 verse 4, 7 verse 7 and 9 verse 9 sides, rather than the traditional 11 verse 11 format to cater to 4 to 12 year olds. The smaller fields, modified rules and fewer players leads to a more enjoyable game with more opportunities to be involved in the action.
