Carnival information

School Sport SA in conjunction with Henley High School is conducting a 9-a-side football carnival for students with disabilities. The rules will be very simple. As the competition will be divided into 2 divisions (entries permitting), all levels of experience and skills will be catered for.

Divisions

Schools can enter as many teams as they like.

• Division 1 is for capable players, many of which have played some football and/or have reasonable skills.
• Division 2 is for players not as capable as division 1 and may not necessarily have played football before but have reasonable hand-eye coordination and/or prepared to have a go.

If schools do not have sufficient numbers of students to complete teams, individuals can be nominated and will be combined to make up a composite team/s on the day.
