The Big Issue Perth Community Street Soccer Program MIXED

Join the local street soccer program for a few hours and experience the power of sport to change lives. There is no need to have any experience playing soccer, our program caters to all fitness levels and abilities. The program gives participants an opportunity to get active, make new friends and seek support in a fun and safe environment.

Location: Wellington Square, corner of Hill & Wellington St, East Perth Western Australia 6004
Tuesday | 3:30pm-5:30pm

What to expect in the Mixed Session
This is a relaxed and informal training session. No need to have game knowledge or skills, just come equipped with a willingness to join in and have fun! Fair play is the aim of the day. Always remember to play to the skill of the person in front of you.

You will be split into teams to play amongst the CSSP players on the day. We encourage you to say hello and engage with our Street Soccer players who attend each week, they love meeting new people, and this interaction makes the activity more enjoyable for all.

What to bring

Wear comfortable active wear, runners, hat, and/or sunglasses to play sport in with the weather in mind. Don't forget to bring a water bottle! There will be taps available.
