“This is a great tournament which is very well run. There are good quality teams competing which is beneficial for the players’ development as well as making it a great spectacle for the parents who also travel with their teams.”
“Because [the Kanga Cup] is the biggest footballing competition in the Southern hemisphere it is a great opportunity to compete at a more intense level. It will also help us develop our players’ footballing skills.”
“It’s really fun to travel and hang out with your friends, family & team.”
“This is a great learning opportunity. It’s concentrated games within one week, providing a base to learn and develop skills.”
“What a fantastic tournament! When our coach suggested a week long tournament in chilly Canberra I don’t think anyone realised just how wonderful an experience it would be and how smashed our expectations would be by the end of it.
I would definitely recommend other teams to play in the Kanga Cup because it was an unforgettable experience that others should get to enjoy as well. I know I had a fantastic week spent with awesome girls playing an awesome game and I really hope we can do it all again next year, so clear your calendars girls!”
