DIVERSITY UNDER 17 TEAM
U16 CHAMPS ABOUT MORE THAN FOOTY FOR DIVERSITY TEAM
The Queensland Diversity team impressed in its first U16 State Championships, but there’s far more to the side than their win-loss record.
Bringing together players from Indigenous and multicultural backgrounds, the inaugural Diversity team faces a unique challenge, but have handled it with aplomb, after a short preparation.
Diversity coach, Anthony Corrie, said the key was making their varied backgrounds a unifying element for the team.
“For us, the message is to get around and make sure we’re getting around and sharing where we’re from.”
“That’s what we (the diversity team) are here for and that’s the really good thing about it.”
