Rule Changes
We're happy to say that with a return to play, there will be some adjustments back to normal game play and procedures.
- Heading the ball is back. There will be no restrictions on heading the soccer ball in any league game.
- Defensive walls return. We will allow for walls to be set up for defending free kicks
- As we receive more direction from the public health, we provide further clarification on other changes to our covid rules.

Youth Leagues - Limited Spaces
We launched our new Li'l Sambas kids program a couple of months ago and had an incredible response with over 300 kids already signed up to play in the spring program at Immaculata. We'll be partnering with Futuro Soccer Academy and those of you who have watched the Futuro Academy kids train before or after your Footy Sevens game will already have been amazed at the level of technique and attention to detail at each session. Those same core principles will be adapted to each age level to give an unrivaled start in the game for both beginners and kids with a little experience.
You can find full details of all of the programs and register over on the new Li'l Sambas Soccer Website
