Latrobe City Council Mayor, Councillor Dale Harriman said the event will provide great benefits to the local community.
“We are so excited to host this event in our region. It’s a great opportunity for our community to get involved in a fun day of sport and family-friendly activities during the school holidays,” said the Mayor.
“It was fantastic to host a range of visitors who attended the Boys and Girls FC event last year. Events like this bring economic benefits and allow us to showcase our region!”Open to boys and girls aged Under 8 to Under 17, this small sided tournament provides the perfect setting for grassroots teams to enjoy fast-paced football, test their skills, and connect with peers from across the region.
"With smaller team formats, players can expect more touches, quicker games, and an engaging environment that encourages creativity, teamwork, and development."
Proudly supported by Latrobe City Council, Boys & Girls FC – Gippsland will transform Harold Preston Reserve into a festival of football with a buzzing atmosphere, entertainment for families, and a strong sense of community.
