Private elementary soccer league very competitive

It’s been a very competitive league for the 2014 FFAS Private Elementary Soccer competition in all grade levels for both boys and girls.

 

With the competition just two weeks away from its end, teams are jockeying for the top six positions in the Grades 3-5 and Grades 6-8 age groups.

 

“This year’s competition is very different from the past because I believe the parents are now helping out in coaching the teams and the players really know how to play now,” explained FFAS CEO Tavita Taumua. “Some of these players have been playing since this competition started four years ago and they are now showcasing their development of that learning process.”

 

The playoffs are set to kick off next week with the championship games to be held during the Thanksgiving Day week.

 

“We are looking to have a very good closing and hope that all the schools have enjoyed themselves so far,” Taumua said.
