Mini-Soccer is introduced to our boys from Grade 1 to 3. All boys participate and learn the correct skills and positions for the game during integrated sports and after school training sessions. Outsourced coaches are included in this activity and assist in giving our boys top-class coaching sessions. Our Under-7 and Under-8 boys participate in the SISA Mini-Soccer tournaments on Friday afternoons. Here they play matches against other schools forming part of the SISA League. From Under-9, our boys participate in the Benoni Area League. The season concludes with a Winter Festival where all our children participate.
Soccer is classified as a major sport at Woodlands. Woodlands combines external professional Soccer coaches with a number of qualified staff members as coaches and managers in order to provide our teams with top quality coaching and guidance.
We have both boys’ and girls’ teams participating in the leagues, from Under-9 through to Under-13. This provides an opportunity for every child who wishes to play to be part of a team. We also have an interesting situation in a number of the teams where we have some girls competing for places in the boys’ teams!
At Woodlands our young sportsmen and women benefit from our new state of the art Woodlands Sports Arena, which offers two full Premier League size Soccer fields. In addition, the Matthews Hall Indoor Sports Centre offers a world class indoor Soccer ‘field’.
