SCORPION SOCCER

Over the last few weeks Mr Hoskin and Liam Addlington have been running the most anticipated tournament of the year, Scorpion Soccer. This is a lunchtime soccer competition for the Year 7s and Year 8s running on Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes on the multi courts.

The initial competition was a ‘rock up’ format, which saw over 70 students turning up to get involved and play some soccer. Students were grouped into teams and played social games with a competitive edge. 

After this amazing turn out the competition moved into a knockout phase where students got together into teams of five to play for the title of Scorpion Soccer Champions. This hugely popular competition has seen students of all ability levels get involved and enjoy playing against their peers. 

The Scorpion Soccer final is on next Thursday lunchtime on the multi courts featuring Hontzogloy v Team Delfin. May the best team win!

Thank you to all of the staff and students who got involved with this fabulous competition.
