SCHOOL'5 CUP

TEAM REGISTRATION

School’5 Cup is a 5-aside tournament where teams from each year group will compete against teams from other schools.

All games are competitive in nature with a ‘live’ league ladder available to view via the schedule and standings link on the Goals Australia website homepage.

1.

Get the squad together!

Teams may field four (4) outfield players and a goalkeeper on the pitch at any one time with team squads to a maximum of 9 players. Year 7, 8 and 9 competitions allowed to include mix gender teams at the discretion of the teacher. 

2.

Look the part

Players are recommended to wear moulded football boots - NO screw-in metal studded footwear. Shinpads MUST be worn by all players! School's are to provide their own personalised playing kits for players and in the circumstance where there is a clash of team colours with an opposing team, Goals will provide bibs if none are available.

3.

How to fill out the team registration form

Under the registrant information, there are mandatory fields that require personal information. We do not expect nor are asking for you (the individual registering the team) to provide us with your personal address, contact number etc. We ask that you use the schools details to populate these fields. With regards to contact numbers, a school number is sufficient but in the circumstance of inclement weather or any other unforeseeable situations that may arise, another direct number to yourself or faculty would be ideal. Date of birth can be a generic 01-01-1990 with email address being your 'eq.edu.au' please.

4.

Insurance

We at Goals Australia are dedicated to providing our players with the safest 5 a side pitches in the country. However when participating in the School'5 Cup we’ll make sure you are covered in case of any injury. To do this we need EVERY player in your team to be registered with all of their correct details on file (our insurers cannot cover non-registered players). To be eligible to claim, Goals Australia must be contacted within 72 hours of the injury / incident.

5.

The Goals Australia Facility

Besides providing what we feel are the best 5 aside football pitches on the Gold Coast, we also provide beverages and an assortment of food for the players to purchase. There is a male/female bathroom, plenty of shade and taps/bubblers for players to utilise.
