FOOTBALL 9’S CAPITAL COLLEGE CUP

Capital Football is introducing the Football 9s’ Capital College Cup for senior school students in year 11 and 12 for the 2024.

Objective: to facilitate a day long senior school football tournament – a girls, opens and mixed social competitions. The idea is to promote participation amongst an age group whose numbers are declining. Studies are showing, in the last year, that more than a third of community sporting clubs have reported participation boosts. However, the greatest decline in participation among clubs surveyed has occurred amongst teenagers aged 15-19 years.  This is a continuation of a trend, noted in the Australian Sports Foundation’s 2021 research, demonstrating older teenagers are the demographic cohort most likely to disengage from community sport.
