The Provincial Finals are the culmination of three months of competition held at County level which sees schools progress to the respective Provincial Finals:
The event saw approximately 16,000 children participate last year: The competition has been running since the mid 1990’s, the event is more popular than ever with 913 schools involved in 2012:
160 children from 20 schools in Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon will participate in the Connacht Provincial Finals which will be held in the impressive surrounds of Shiven Rovers AFC, Newbridge, Galway today:
The Aviva Health FAI Primary School 5’s is the biggest and best competition in the 2013 Primary Schools Soccer Calendar: There are 5 divisions to suit all school sizes: While Aviva Health and FAI Schools encourage boys and girls to play on the same team, there is also a separate competition for girls’ schools: A number of teams can represent one school depending on the size of their student body, giving more children the chance to develop their skills in a safe, child centred and exciting environment:
It promises to be a fantastic fun filled day with winners and runners up receiving a commemorative medal: The lucky winners will also receive a free UMBRO kit and the prestigious Connacht trophy for their School
A brand new addition to the tournament in 2013 will see primary school children given the opportunity to compete in Aviva Stadium, as it will host the National Finals on Saturday, 25 May:
This will be a family fun day focused on providing participants and spectators alike with huge excitement and entertainment in order to make it a day to remember for all involved:
Aviva’s sponsorship of the Primary School 5’s sees the expansion of their partnership with the football family: At present, Aviva support the FAI Club of the Month and the Soccer Sisters programme:
