Coach Peter Howlett and this smartly-dressed team of young soccer players will be taking on the best when they compete in the Gold Coast Youth Championships Cup next week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 15, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

A small team of South Burnett U8s and U9s soccer players will be competing on the Gold Coast a little later this month, and they’re looking forward to the challenge.<\/p>\n

They’ll be taking part in the Gold Coast Youth Championships Cup at Glennon Park in Nerang, the home of the Gold Coast Suns.<\/p>\n

The Youth Championships Cup is an initiative of the Mudgeeraba Soccer Club.<\/p>\n

It began in 1996 with the simple goal of offering Mudgeeraba soccer players an opportunity to advance their football skills while developing cultural understanding, respect and friendship through sport.<\/p>\n

Over the past 21 years, though, it has steadily grown to become the largest international tournament of its kind in the southern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

This month’s visit will be the first time the South Burnett has taken part in the competition.<\/p>\n

The young players will be playing eight matches over three days from September 25-28.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each match will have 30 minute halves (versus 45 minutes for older players) with a 7-minute half time break and will be played strictly to FIFA rules.<\/p>\n

The players are all involved in either the Kingaroy, Nanango or Barambah junior soccer clubs, and their trip has been supported by Claas Harvest Centre in Toowoomba.<\/p>\n

With this year’s junior soccer season now over, the chance to take part in the Youth Championships is a rare opportunity to compete against players that are completely unknown to them.<\/p>\n

Coach Peter Howlett told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> the trip will be an exciting opportunity for the youngsters, and he shares their excitement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
