The new Saigon Colts jumper designed by Ross McRae.

The football world is abuzz with the news that in Saigon, Vietnam, Auskick is back for 2014.

And the even bigger news is that, in this the Year of the Horse, we are back as the newly formed Saigon Colts.

We also have some fantastic new sponsors on board; OutsourceIT, ANZ Bank and AIS (the Australian International School). With their generous support we are currently in production of the Saigon Colts footy jumpers. For a sneak preview of the magnificent design, see the picture to the side. Thanks to Ross McRae of Ross McRae Design for these… unfortunately the jumpers won’t be ready for a couple of weeks, but the wait will be worth it.

Registration: will take place on Saturday, 22 March 2013.

Membership Fee: This year the full year membership will be VND 700,000 (USD35). This is a little up on last year as we have a proper playing jumper which the kids are going to love. Also included is the Auskick footies and back packs from Australia. Extra Saigon Colts jumpers can be ordered for VND 600,000 (please indicate on your membership form)

Pie Afternoons: Last year we put on two great pie afternoons for the kids so we hope to do the same again this year.

Singapore Tournament: Discussions are in progress about an Auskick Tournament in Singapore later in the year. We are very keen to field the Saigon Colts if we can get the numbers, so stay tuned for more on that exciting news.

So.. to training this Saturday.

Bring your water, towel, sunscreen and hat ready for a fun filled morning.

In order to preserve the football ground, no football boots with studs – Runners or flat sole shoes only!
