Tournaments

Dream big, Dream Empoli

Tournaments are a way to put into practice what players have learned during our training sessions. They place players in real-game situations, and we can see how they apply their learned skills. Social and competitive games are fun and are a way to measure against other players.

In partnership with the Belmore Eagles, we have decided to participate in the Summer Sixes as:

It's organised by Football Canterbury, the same organisation that organises the regular winter season.
It's run by the Belmore Eagles, our partnered club which runs the regular season at Rudd Park.
We run a test last year with a small group and it was a fantastic experience.
It’s a good mix of social and competitive play which is the perfect next step for our players;
It's in our area! It is played on Rudd Park, a state-of-the-art field located in Belfield.
