FFSA hold Special Olympics Gala Day

On Thursday 6th November 2008 the Football Federation SA & Special Olympics held a Gala Day for approximately 50 students from various schools throughout Adelaide.

Football Federation SA qualified coaches Jonathan Ruse, Sue Tripodi, Richie Alagich, Nathan Kosmina, Paulo Crisci & Amy Pascoe conducted a morning skills session for their team followed by a Small Sided Games tournament which was held after the sausage sizzle at lunch time. A fun and exciting day was had by all involved including the teachers, players and coaches.

Adelaide United FC players Jonas Salley and Alemao attended the presentation ceremony handing the winners their prizes and signed posters for all the players.

The Special Olympics Australia National Games are being held in Adelaide in April 2010 and this is a great start towards the development of a team for the Olympics.

The FFSA would like to thank the Adelaide Comets Soccer Club for their generosity in allowing us the use of their grounds at Ellis Park.
