Innovative code kicks off for summer

FOOTBALL Federation Sunraysia Summer Sevens (GO Sevens) competition got under way on Tuesday.

GO Sevens is a social format of the game, involving seven players on each team on a modified, smaller pitch. It’s a terrific way for existing teams in traditional winter competitions to keep their skills up, in a format that gives everyone the opportunity to touch the ball more often.

A typical GO Sevens competition runs for seven weeks, but each GO Football competition can also vary the length of the competition.

With a large emphasis on fun and fitness, GO Sevens is a great way for new players to unlock the social benefits that only a team sport can offer.

Best of all, it is suitable for people of all ages and skill levels.

GO Football offers well organised seven-a-side matches for players and teams aged 10 plus and of all levels of experience, played across a half field (approximately) with mixed, female, and male divisions.
