Community Discussion

Your Advice is Needed

"We're moving from Sydney to the Capalaba area at Easter permanently, recommendations for soccer clubs for my almost 10yr son would be much appreciated. He's in the local skills development program, training 2 nights a wk, so an equivalent would be ideal. Thank u in advance." - Savy Spowart
