Due to all ACC and CAS events being cancelled for the term, our Sports Department saw this as an opportunity to showcase our students Futsal skills. It’s also exciting to see all of the students come together, whether it is spectating, playing or officiating to contribute to the sporting culture at the College, which most students have been missing this year.

In the College’s first Futsal competition, we had 17 teams all battling out to take top spot in their divisions; Year 7-9 Boys, Year 10-12 boys and Open girls. The teams were formed with the assistance of the Football Academy coaches Mr Walmsley and Mr Hassell and include students who nominated for the CAS Soccer teams and players in the Football Academy. The competition commences at lunchtime on Wednesdays and Fridays This is becoming a favourite lunchtime activity amongst our spectators.

With a leader board in place for the round-robin style competition, each lunchtime brings 4 games with the winning team from each game collecting 4 points. Halves go for 7 minutes each with some games being so close that the end result is determined by penalties. The competition will go for around 5-8 weeks with Most Valuable Players being awarded for each round and announced at the Sports Awards Evening in Term 4.

It has been great seeing everyone super keen to play and eager to get involved. We hope to do more of these round-robin style competitions in the future.
