Titled Kick a Goal for SpinalCure, the campaign is an initiative of Endeavour Sports High School and 5sports. Endeavour Sports High School have an agreement with 5sports that allows 5sports to conduct such events on their new state of the art sports facilities. 5sports are offering 4 week Competitions at only $10 per player and Court Hire at only $20/hr to encourage everyone to support the cause and find out what all the excitement is about at Endeavour Sports High.

“We are very excited by the 5sports and Endeavour Sports High School Kick a Goal for SpinalCure campaign,” said Spinecure Australia Executive Director, Duncan Wallace. “It will help raise much needed funds that are dedicated to curing the paralysis caused by spinal cord injury. We believe a cure is inevitable and campaigns such as this will help that cure become a reality sooner than later.”

Endeavour Sports High School was first approached by 5sports in August 2005 with a proposal to build a state of the art multi-purpose sports facility. After extensive negotiations the 5sports proposal was adopted by ESHS and the NSW Department of Education and Training in 2008. The facility will be opened for use by ESHS and opened to the public through 5sports on August 15.

Endeavour Sports High School Director of Sport, Dave Davids, said: “We now have a truly world class sports facility that caters to the needs of all our students and the greater community. I believe we will be the envy of not only other schools, but councils and clubs who are all struggling with grounds that are unplayable. Under our agreement with 5sports, we have complete use of the facility until 4pm each school day before they take over and open it up to the entire community so it’s a win for everyone in the Shire.

“As the first school in Australia to host a 5sports facility we hope that our example can be followed by other public schools in order to provide the very best opportunities to all our children. We are very proud to be a part of the 5sports Campaign to raise $100,000 towards research into a cure for paralysis and we hope the entire community gets behind this great cause.”

Construction Manager for 5sports, Greg Heaps, is a Cronulla local and has built in excess of 70 artificial football, AFL and hockey fields throughout the world. Greg said “Every element of the facility is built to the highest specifications so the 5aside courts and full field will never be washed out. 5sports is as good as it gets with state of the art components and systems being used in every element of the project. As a local with young kids who have had their sports washed out on weekly basis I am thrilled that the facility is about to open for use by the entire community.”
