Football Federation Australia and Cottee-s have teamed up to introduce a brand new schools participation program based on 5 v 5 football - Cottee-s Schools 5-a-Side.

Cottee-s Schools 5-a-Side allows up to 8 schools in an area to come together and play in 5 v 5 football games in a day focused on fun and participation.

Each school can provide a girls, boys and mixed team which allows for a whole class to take part.

Cottee-s Schools 5-a-Side days also offers fun challenges - like juggling and penalty shootouts - that a representative from each school can take part in.

Every child that participates in a Cottee-s Schools 5-a-side Day receives a Cottee-s show bag with fun freebies to take home, and is able to view their team photo on the Cottee-s website!

This week marks the commencement of the Cottee-s Schools 5-a-Side program, with over 600 children having already participated in Whyalla (South Australia), Adamstown (NSW), and Thornbury (Victoria). Tomorrow sees Port Lincoln in South Australia host the next Cottee-s Schools 5-a-Side day when another 8 regional schools will participate in these fun and action packed days.

Around 9,000 school children will join in the Cottee's Schools 5-A-Side fun in 2009.
