FREESTYLEFOOTBALL.COM.AU LEAGUE TO AIR ON FOX SPORTS
The new sport of Freestyle Football has hit Australia and has already made giant strides since launching just over 6 months ago, culminating this week in the launch of the World's 1st Freestyle Football League, which will be aired over the next 6 month's on FOX SPORTS commencing this Thursday 6th August, 2009.
For those of you who don't know... Freestyle Football (Soccer) involves the art of juggling a football using various parts of the body, whilst simultaneously performing creative, highly skilful & visually spectacular trick/dance moves. Freestyle Football Australia director Paul Harvey created the League and explains "The tagline for the FreestyleFootball.com.au™ League' is 'Amazing Freestyle, in Amazing Locations' The six members of the Trick Star Freestyle Football Pro Team, including BevS, Kane, Azn FS, Macca, MickyD & JP, will travel to some of the most spectacular locations in Australia and battle head to head, over 90 seconds, with the TV viewers deciding the winner by voting online at
www.foxsports.com.au".
The additional television exposure is massive for the growth of Freestyle Football in Australia as Paul Harvey went onto explain "Already our Trick Star Team is the busiest Freestyle Football Show Team in the world, having performed over 80 different live shows in 6 months and with this exposure to our target market, we think that it will help elevate Freestyle Football to be the new 'in' sport with today's teens, because all you need is a football... and a bit of skill of course."
Fox Sports will broadcast the league in Australia during the A-League pre game show every Friday evening.
This week's show will be aired on FOX SPORTS 3 - Thursday 6th August from 7.30pm, to coincide with the Hyundai A-League Season Launch between Melbourne & the Central Coast.
