NEWS: Organisers seeking more Summer Sevens' teams

SUMMER Sevens will be staged for the first time in several years in the Geelong region, with Ocean Grove’s Shell Road Reserve the venue for the weekly Wednesday night competition starting early October. However, event organisers need a few more teams in certain categories to guarantee a viable competition.

Registrations are still open for everyone but FFV are specifically looking for teams in Under 14 Boys, Under 14 Girls, Open Women, Open Mixed and Masters to help out those that have already registered. Teams are encouraged to contact summersevens@ffv.org.au or call 9474 1807 prior to registering to get information about their competition.

Summer Sevens is Football Federation Victoria's social format of the game. It is 7-a-side short, sharp social football played on half the size of a normal pitch and is the perfect chance for you to grab your mates, register and play competitive football in a social and relaxed environment.

With a large emphasis on fun, fitness and social benefits that only a team sport can offer, it is suitable for people of all ages and skill levels. Summer Sevens is for players aged 10 and above and provides everyone with the opportunity to touch the ball more often, improve your skills and play in a more fun and social environment.

Summer Sevens is the perfect way to develop players with twice the amount of touches on the ball and shots on goal. It is half the pitch, half the players, but double the fun (and in the sun).

Teams do not have to be club based. It can be friends, uni students, players from multiple teams coming together, family etc. It is an opportunity to keep on playing during the summer in a more relaxed environment.
