The Riversdale Spring 5s competition runs every year from October to early December. It runs for 7 weeks and consists of a 6 week round robin competition preceded by a practice/grading round.
​
It is a fun tournament where players can form their own teams with friends from their regular team/club, from school, family members or a combination of these.

It also attracts teams from other local clubs and is a fun way of maintaining and improving your football skills in an informal environment.
