The players battle it out on the field in the competition between kids and parents in Woodville Association Football Club's matches. The games started with 4-6-years age group (first kicks) and fun football for 6-8, then the 8-10-years (7-a-side) and 10-12 age group (9-a-side).
It was kids versus parents at the Woodville football matches last weekend.
Junior football also had its prizegiving following what coach Richard Reid says has been a great season of growth.
About 80 children aged 4-12 took part in the football season.
Richard says the idea behind it is to foster children into sport and keep them off the streets.
“We don’t want to run a win-at-all-cost environment, but promote fun and community involvement.”
He says they love the involvement from parents, and helping them and their children learn the game and get a buzz from being active.
Woodville Association Football Club is a non-profit group and Woodville’s only sports club and is looking to be in the community for generations to come, but it needs community support and engagement.
“We thank our many supporters, volunteers and sponsors on a successful season.”
Summer football will be starting on the first Friday after Labour weekend, running for six weeks before Christmas and probably four to six weeks from mid-January until mid-February/March.
The committee is also working on plans for adults fun Friday-night footy. “Stay tuned,” Richard says.
There have been four artists-in-residence at Rinitawa.
