phoenix cup 2014 soccer tournament for the disabled

Post by clownboy »

On November the 8th 2014 From 10am Modbury Jets amateur soccer club corner of ladywood & Milne Rds Modbury Nth are hosting an annual 7-a-side football (soccer) tournament for people with disabilities.

The Phoenix Cup is a dedicated 7 a side tournament that provides people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in the world’s most played game, football (soccer). Over the past 5 years the tournament has grown in numbers of adult participants to 90 registered players. For the second year running we congratulate the SASRAPID All Stars on another magnificent victory, defeating the Taipans in an exciting final in last year’s tournament.
On behalf of both the Modbury Jets Amateur Football Club and the Phoenix Cup Organising Committee, we would like to announce the details relating to the tournament this year. The tournament will again expand the number of adult teams invited to play.
For the first time, we are also offering the opportunity for children (male and females) with disabilities between the ages of 8-13 to participate in the Phoenix Cup junior tournament. The Phoenix Cup junior tournament will consist of 4-6 teams of children with disabilities that will compete in a small league and knockout format. The aim of the junior tournament is to provide opportunities to children with disabilities to participate in football (soccer).
As with previous years, all participants will be provided with strips/uniforms that are fully funded for by the sponsors of the tournament. The Phoenix Cup tournament has a carnival atmosphere that involves local businesses sponsoring the tournament, support from local community members and for the last 3 years the winner’s trophy has been presented by the Mayor of the Tea Tree Gully Council. All participants on the day are cheered on by the many family, friends and local supporters and at the end of the day are awarded with participation packs and medals. On the day BBQ, drinks & beverages are available for fund raising as well as fun activities for all including clown, balloons, facepainter, airbrush tattoos and of course soccer goals and balls to have a kick around.
We hope to see the soccer community here on this day in support of this wonderful event
I have attached some links and information on past tournaments to allow you to get a feel about what the tournament is about.

As an organiser of this event my opinion and view on this annual event is biased so I encourage everyone within the football community in SA to consider attending and supporting this event and make up your own mind. Our long term aim is for this event not to be a one-off day and hopefully form a league and to do this we would require the support of the whole football community.

On the 8th November 2014
the annual Phoenix cup soccer tournament for people with disabilities is on for the 6th straight year at Ladywood Reserve in Modbury North. What initially started out as a tournament for the four Adelaide based facilities of the Phoenix Society has now blossomed over the years, this year involving 14 senior and 4 junior teams with approximately 180 participants competing.

Participating teams are from the following Adelaide based organisations:-

• Phoenix Society
• Bedford Industries
• Orana
• Leveda
• Cerebral Palsy
• Inclusive Sports
• Special Olympics
• Novita
• EBL

This event is put on at “no cost” to either the individuals or organisations that they represent, all participants receive:-

• Free BBQ Lunch
• Free fruit throughout the day
• Free water throughout the day
• Free participation packs (made up of donated products / items) • Medals and trophies • Phoenix Cup hat • DVD / Video of the tournament

Below are a few articles on the event and schedule for the day:

Dixie Dean was hailed by another Mersey legend, Liverpool’s Bill Shankly, as “belonging in the company of the supremely great, like Beethoven, Rembrandt and Shakespeare.”

60 goals, never to be equalled.

Would love to have gone to this today but unfortunately with the distance away for me and other things I had committed to doing, I won't be able to get along. :(
