Zero to Hero: Local Soccer Club Slashes Fees for Juniors 

In a bold move, the Western Toros Soccer Club is offering FREE registration to all Junior Boy’s & Girl’s in the 2013 season. The initiative is bound to be welcomed by soccer parents around Adelaide, who are may choose to pay anywhere between $500 and $1,000 every year for their kids to play. 

The Toros plan to fund every registration and facility fee in an attempt to make sport more accessible to children who want to participate but can't afford to. They also hope the cost cutting will rejuvenate community spirit and build a culture of respect, solidarity and multiculturalism in the western suburbs. 

This is not the first time the Toros have helped struggling children, with the Pennington based club offering 30 scholarships to refugee children every year, for the past eight years. 

Now that the club are finally in the position to do so, they have decided to broaden their scope of assistance so no one misses out. 
 
 “Our club is not just driven by football success but by community. We want to create an even playing field and allow everyone to participate,” Lou Ricciuto, Toros Club President. 

Photo Opportunity: Our club is very flexible and can accommodate a range of times for interviews to take place at our rooms at Collins Street at Pennington. We have a variety of interviewees available, including children who will benefit from the scheme, parents, current scholarship holders and club officials.
