Western Youth League Competition

March 3, 2023 by Roxane Manley

Players paired up and practicing some ball work during training for the Western Youth League Competition.

Parkes soccer players have been training as part of the Lachlan team to comete in a pre-season competition against larger centers like Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst, Cowra, Mudgee/Lithgow in an upcoming Gala at Goulburn.

The Lachlan team consists of players from Parkes, Forbes, Condobolin, Cowra and Yeoval. The formation of the Lachlan team was important to give the youth in these smaller towns the opportunity to play.

Drills are an important part of skill development and fitness.
