I'm still quite new 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: to go and I've been here for three and a 15 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: half years and I haven't seen anything like this done before, 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: and I thought, why not leverage some of my contacts 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: from playing the game in many years down south and 18 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: again get somebody like this up here to help her 19 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: motivate and inspire the next generation the football staff. 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've got a couple of big name players 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: coming to Darwin to assist with his cab. 22 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: Who have you gosh, I've got Steve White, who played 23 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: professionally for a number of different clubs. He also played 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: over in America. But the bigger name is Ivan Franitch, 25 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: who played twenty times for the Soccer Oo's. He played 26 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 2: in the twenty fifteen Brazil World Cup. He assisted a 27 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: goal to Tim Cahill, who a lot of football listeners 28 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: will know a lot about. So yeah, he's played two 29 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: hundred and forty eight league games. He won the A 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: League with Brisbane Law under coach Ange Posterakoglu, who's now 31 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: doing really good things at Putnam Hotspare in in England. 32 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: So the color of a player we've got coming to 33 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: facilitate this clinic is you know, top notch and realistically, 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: if we can help inspire and motivate some of these kids, 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: that's the main objective here. There'll be plenty of prizes 36 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: and giveaways on the day as well, so yeah, we'll 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: see how we're going. 38 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: Good stuff, I reckon, it's great, you know, it's great 39 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: to see see awesome players like this here in the 40 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: Northern Territory and then helping out with the CAB. I 41 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: mean it's a pretty big cove for you too, for 42 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you to have these two big names helping you out 43 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: over the next week. No, there is. 44 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: Like I said to your previously of a few years, 45 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 2: we've got a few more great heres Amonus event. They've 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: had a few logistical nightmares, but it's going ahead. We're 47 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: going to get it done and hopefully, like I said, 48 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: the kids will come have a great day and they'll 49 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: get a free SC twenty three Nike jersey as well. 50 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: We've got plenty of sponsors on board that made that 51 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: happen and we'll have some stuff as well and give 52 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: away that they can win on a day. But mainly 53 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: the objective is just for them to have a good day. 54 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 2: Have I bought their seat? Which is the main goal 55 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: with our CE twenty three to get these kids out 56 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: of their house. They've got a lot of distractions these 57 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 2: days that yeah, definitely didn't have it back in the day. 58 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: So as long as they're outside kicking the ball of 59 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: playing sports, that's the main thing. 60 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely agree. And there's there is so much happening 61 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: over the school holidays for kids, and you know, not 62 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: all the kids are forty, so I'll let parents know 63 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: about some of the other events that are going on 64 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: as well. But Nabbie tell us what can what ages 65 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: are sort of most appropriate. 66 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: The ages from six light up to sixteen. We've got 67 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: boys and girls, so yeah, realistically any age group in 68 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: between that is fine. We've offset the two sessions so 69 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: there's actually two sessions each day, one for under tens 70 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 2: and one for eleven plus, just so that we can 71 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: cater to the group in a smaller, smaller number of 72 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: players and we can really make sure that they're getting 73 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: the information from the coaching staff. So yeah, it's going 74 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 2: really well. I've got sixty regis of kids at the moment, 75 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: and like you said, there is a lot going on 76 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: that next week and then over the school holiday.
