The festival brought together young footballers aged 8-13 years old and offered eight different types of football-based activities for them to try.
A huge success for all those involved, plans are already in place to hold another festival on 21 November, in conjunction with International Children’s Day.
Of the course participants, 15 of them were women and FTF head of women’s football development Ethelle Taputu says they more than demonstrated their abilities throughout the duration of the course.
“Men fill the majority of coaching and educating roles at the heart of football clubs, but they can be filled equally as well by women which these 15 coaches showed this week,” she says.
With Tahitian football on the rise, Taputu is encouraged that these coaches will now return to their communities to develop women’s football even further.
