GOLD COAST GAMES
Gold Coast Football Carnival
The Gold Coast Football Carnival is a youth sporting event focusing on giving players competitive games and coaching clinics as part of their tour experience. The Soccer event offers the opportunity for boys and girls teams from overseas, interstate and Queensland to participate. Open to Schools and Club Players and Teams 10 – 18 years of age
This is not an elite event; all teams and players are welcome regardless of their playing ability.
GOLD COAST NETBALL CARNIVAL
Our Gold Coast Rugby and Netball Carnivals have gained an enviable reputation over the last 30 years and we would be delighted to your team join us on the Coast in 2022 for our Gold Coast Football Carnival as part of the Gold Coast Games
The ethos of camaraderie and sportsmanship that has been built up at our events since its inception is quite unique and one of the main reasons for our continuing success.
There is no overall champion at our Carnival – instead one deserving group each year is presented with the coveted Spirit Award, decided on a vote of all participants: schools, clubs, referees and organisers.
There is also a Barbarian Award appointed to one player from each team.
The objectives of the Carnival are for players and officials to:
-
revel in the spirit of sport
-
enjoy a guaranteed number of matches without the pressure associated with school competitions
-
respect the time honoured ideals of amateur level sport
-
relish an opportunity to improve playing/coaching standards whilst enjoying a holiday at one of the world’s premier holiday destinations
Join us for a great week of Football mixed with
Sun, Surf and Sand
Come and test your skills against national and international teams whilst visiting Australia’s premier theme parks and world class beaches.
