Victoria update
Footy training with a twist
On Friday, September 14 the Special Olympics Melbourne Eastern Ranges held a footy night training with a twist.
What a night it was, with great bocce skills and scoring from both teams on courts. It was a fun night while learning to play straight and on angles, with lots of smiles and laughter when hitting the post and a minus two points from the total on the board. However, at the end everyone was happy and all received a small prize.
