Football Victoria is excited to announce the return of the CCC Gala Day, set to take place on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at The Home of the Matildas.
This exciting event promises to be a celebration of grassroots football, bringing together young players, coaches, and families from across the state.
The CCC Gala Day is designed to promote inclusivity, community engagement, and the joy of playing football. The event invites Bronze, Silver, and Gold packaged clubs from 2024 to participate, offering a fantastic opportunity for clubs to showcase their young talent in a fun and supportive environment.
The Gala Day will feature a variety of matches tailored for different age groups:
- Under 8 and Under 9: 7-a-side (6 outfield players and 1 goalkeeper)
- Under 10, Under 11, Under 12, and Under 13: 9-a-side (8 outfield players and 1 goalkeeper)
Each team will compete in four matches, consisting of two 15-minute halves, ensuring ample playing time and opportunities for development.
The CCC Gala Day aligns with the FV Club Coach Coordinator (CCC) Program, which aims to enhance the experience of coaches and players by fostering a positive and inclusive environment. The program encourages welcoming new players and maintaining open communication among all club stakeholders, creating a safe and engaging atmosphere for everyone involved.
This inaugural Gala Day is an excellent opportunity for clubs to build camaraderie, celebrate the spirit of football, and support the development of young athletes. Football Victoria looks forward to seeing clubs come together for a day filled with competition, teamwork, and fun.
Clubs are invited to submit EOI for team entries, with a restriction of three teams per club per age group. This allows clubs to maximise participation and provide as many young players as possible the chance to play in this memorable event.
The entry fee for each team is $120, which will be invoiced following the confirmation of the Gala Day based on the number of entries received.
Clubs must submit their EOI forms by Friday, November 1st, at 12:00 PM. After this deadline, submissions will no longer be accepted, so clubs are encouraged to act swiftly to secure their spot on this exciting event.
