There will be trophies for participants and free cake for everyone at the end of the festival.
The Special Needs Soccer Festival is a very unique event that was created by FEDS. It gives the adult special needs community the opportunity to play soccer, get exercise, interact with their peers, belong to a Sports club and socialize. This Festival is not only unique to the members and the community, it is also unique in Ontario as it is the only one of its type in the entire Province.
Come out for a fun day at the park and support the special needs community.
