Joshua attends National Pararoos Camp

Joshua Beekes (Year 9) was one of only seven Victorians who made the Pararoos Football (Soccer) training camp squad, held in Sydney in early March.

Pararoos Head Coach, Kai Lammert, selected a squad of 25-players as he began the preparations for the IFCPF Asia-Oceania Championships, which will be held in Iran this November and also double as qualifiers for the 2019 IFCPF World Cup.

Speaking about the first camp for the year, Kai Lammert said “This is our first camp of the year, so there is the opportunity for everyone to prove themselves. The thinking behind this particular selection is that we are looking to extend the squad for the upcoming international program. It is one thing to perform at a Domestic level, but playing at international level is a different challenge.”
