A new soccer program for Maribyrnong families is about to kick off.
An initiative of Active Maribyrnong, GO Family is a six week program aimed at introducing parents and their children to the world game while also improving their health and fitness.
Rather than goals and wins, the innovative program focuses on pressure-free movement and connection and is designed for individuals of all abilities and experience.
Maribyrnong council is hosting a special launch event for GO Family on Saturday, September 21 from 11.00am to 1.00pm at RecWest in Braybrook.
All community members are invited to join for a preview of the program’s offerings while enjoying a fun, family day out, with activities such as skills training, mini-games and practice matches on offer.
Light refreshments will also be available while there will be free coffee for the first 100 guests!
Those not able to attend on Saturday will still have plenty of opportunities to get involved though, with the program running weekly from October 8 through to November 14 at three different venues on three different nights of the week.
Tuesday night sessions will be hosted by Maribyrnong Swifts FC at Johnson Reserve in West Footscray.
Beginning on October 9, Wednesday night sessions will be run by Footscray United Rangers at Robert Barrett Reserve.
Commencing on October 10, Yarraville Glory will run Thursday night sessions at their home ground at McIvor Reserve.
All sessions begin at 6pm.
