Forbes District Soccer Club will host its Annual Youth Gala Day on Sunday 29 June, welcoming 85 teams and more than 180 games across 11 fields, with matches kicking off from 7.30am.
A major highlight of the day will be the official opening of the new Youth Strength and Conditioning Gym at midday.
This state-of-the-art facility is the first of its kind at a community soccer club in Australia, designed specifically for junior athletes with a focus on lower body development, core strength, and explosive leg work.
The gym has been two years in the making and was made possible through funding from the NSW Government’s Football Legacy Infrastructure Grant, Forbes Shire Council, and Forbes District Soccer Club.
It is part of a broader upgrade that includes a new canteen, female-compliant referee room, and refurbished office and storage areas.
