As part of the SAMH Get Active campaign a Street Soccer Festival
was held on Thursday 17 June. Twenty-eight teams and more than 200
people participated in a 5-a-side football tournament. It was a
fun-filled day and SAMH was well represented with twelve teams
playing including a team of "Executives" headed by Sarah Smith.
With pride and reputation at stake the teams set about competing
in the 4 divisions with great enthusiasm and in some cases more
than a little skill! Well done to everyone - the day was a great
success.
The winners and runners-up in each of the 4 divisions (Get
Active Trophy, Street Soccer Cup, SAMH Shield, Fair Play Trophy)
received a gold/silver medal respectively and there was also a Best
Player Trophy.
The event launched the Get Active Street Soccer sessions which
are being run in partnership with Street Soccer Scotland. The
weekly sessions will take place in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The Glasgow sessions will be held at the Powerleague Townhead
Pitch, Kennedy Street Glasgow from 1.00pm-3.00pm every Wednesday
commencing 23 June 2010.
In Edinburgh the sessions will begin on 30 June and will take
place from 1.00pm-3.00pm at Powerleague,10 Westbank Street,
