Brazilian soccer stars to kick-off at Woodlea

Brazilian international soccer stars are set to kick up a storm at the seventh annual Woodlea Soccer Clinic

Hosted by the Tour of Hope, the clinic gives kids aged five to 15 the unique

opportunity to be trained by former World Cup-level soccer stars.

The clinic will kick off on Saturday, October 28, at the Woodlea

community, and will feature a delicious South American BBQ, paying

homage to the Brazilian Soccer Stars who will be coaching on the day.

Brazilian international soccer star Mineiro has been named as one of the

coaches at the clinic who will be helping kids to build speed, strength,

and stamina, teaching not just skills, but discipline, teamwork and

mental ability.

Other soccer players attending will include Paulo Sergio,

Xandao, Gabirel Davies, Lamartine da Silva, Fabio da Silva Neto and

Luiz Felipe.

Woodlea Soccer Clinic will be officiated by Melton mayor Lara Carli, Football Victoria president Antonella Care, Woodlea executive director Peng Hong Wong, and Tour of Hope

principal organiser Beram Kumar.

Woodlea project director Matthew Dean said he is looking forward

to the return of the soccer clinic and knows the community is excited

about it too.

“In light of the Matilda’s recent performance at the FIFA World Cup, we

are expecting a very enthusiastic group of prospective soccer stars at

this year’s clinic,” he said.

“At Woodlea, our annual Soccer Clinic is a community favourite. It

brings our passionate, diverse community together for a day of fitness

and it’s always a lot of fun.

“It’s not every day that aspiring players get to share the pitch with

soccer stars, including the legendary Mineiro, and we know this

experience will inspire and empower our young players.”
