Kawana becomes best footy school

FUTSAL: The Kawana Waters State College is dominating the football field with a number of recent successes thrusting the school ever closer to its goal of being on top.

The college’s football excellence program has produced a number of standout results earlier this year, with three of its sides winning the Queensland Futsal Championships.

The college is also the current South-East Queensland schools of excellence champions in the year eight and nine boy’s competition and has come a close runner-up in the Under-15 Bill Turner Cup for the past four years.

Along with its team achievements the program also has many young individuals tasting success, with 13 Queensland representatives, seven QAS scholarship holders and three Australian representatives.

Sports co-ordinator and football development coach Dustin Slypen said the college was aiming to be Queensland’s premier football school by the end of 2010.

“We’re just trying to get as many good results on the board as we can,” he said.

“If we can jag the Bill Turner Cup and keep the success with the schools premier league championship under our belt, then that puts us in good stead to be contested as the best football school in Queensland.”

After falling short of victory for the past four years, Slypen said the school was focused on taking out the Bill Turner Cup with both the boys and girls teams. The knock-out under-15 state championship starts next week and runs right through to the end of August.
