Sixes Soccer back for another year

The Parkes Sixes Soccer Tournament is back again for another year after a successful first year of competition in 2024.

Last year marked the inaugural event of the Parkes Soccer Sixes Tournament which saw 14 teams from Parkes, Forbes, Dubbo and Peak Hill competing over a single day.

"It was a great success, with teammates, friends and families coming together to support one another while enjoying quality soccer," Joel Cowling said.

This year's tournament will be expanded to play over a two-day format which aligns with larger Sixes tournaments in the northern regions.

"We're aiming to grow the event substantially over the next few years, with the goal of developing a larger regional competition that showcases local talent while providing a fun and competitive experience for all participants."

Sixes soccer is fast-paced and played on a smaller soccer field with six players per team.

The game emphasises quick play, lots of passing and high scoring opportunities which makes Sixes an exciting and dynamic format for players.

Parkes Soccer Sixes Tournament provides the perfect pre-season hit out for the 2025 soccer season with the tournament being played on the weekend of March 15 and 16.

There will be a men's competition as well as women's with team registrations now open so make sure to get your teams together and enter to secure your spot in the tournament.

The tournament is open to everyone- whether you are an experienced soccer player or just looking for an enjoyable weekend with friends, the tournament brings together soccer players of all ages and skill levels.
