Soccer News
Dear Soccer Family,
We are excited to reach out and encourage your participation in the 2025 Soccer Season, and what an amazing season we have in front of us.
The season will kick off with our FunDay on Sunday the 23 March (previously communicated as the 16), an amazing day of fun and community for all.
Saturday games begin on the 3 May, and all teams will be automatically entered in a soccer competition that takes place over the end of August and the first weekend of September.
On the 26 July we will come together for the Soccer fundraising quiz night. An evening to remember and a community to share it with.
On the second weekend of September we will have our end of season Funday - join over 400 family members celebrating a beautiful season.
There's no limit to the fun. During the year there will be a range of competitions that we will seek to involve teams and families, The Southern Cup In April, the Devonport Cup in July and the Launceston Cup in September. South Hobart Primary School Soccer Association teams have not only performed well in these competitions; they have thrived, and that's why, this year we will be looking to take a team to a national competition run in Brisbane. Regardless of ability, we have opportunities for every child who wants to play the game.
We are also establishing a structured development program for the coaches who would like to use it. The program will provide training content to help coaches to support team development. We will also organise regular Master Class sessions for the children to focus on a key skill, or area of the game. Futsal has also taken its place in the development program, year round indoor 5 v 5 in a small playing area - the results are astonishing, players are really able to accelerate their development and fun.

Coaches! We only manage what we do, because of the kind and generous time given by parents who volunteer to help out. Without the coaches, the none of this would be possible. Please join other parents in helping to run the soccer teams. For the first time this year we are establishing Team Admin to help with the organising of team activity and keeping families up to date. Volunteer either of these roles on the form above.
