The Western Sydney Wanderers took time out from there heavy A-League schedule to pay a visit to the students at Metella Road Public School. The visit coincided with the launch of the Wanderers new community program run in conjunction with NRMA Insurance and The Salvation Army.
The program offered students in Year 5 & 6 the opportunity to bring in an old ball of any kind and swap it for a new Western Sydney Wanderers football. This was very successful. After swapping there old ball students were given the opportunity to get autographs from their favourite Wanderers players.
Year 4 students were treated to an afternoon of football clinics taken by some of the Wanderers coaching and youth development staff. Throughout the clinic students were entertained by the talents of some of the Wanderers players including Japanese Superstar Shinji Ono who has a new following after his visit to the Metella Road Oval. Some students were selected throughout the afternoon by the Wanderers to be involved in a training session or given family passes to a Wanderers home game.
We wish the Western Sydney Wanderers all the best for the A-League season and Metella Road is hoping to work closely with the club in the years to come.
