U11 Next Step Coaching Announcement

Mon Jun 6 2011

It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2011 Next Step Zonal Programme Selection Committee and Coaching staff. This is a highly qualified group of applicants who have been organised to ensure we have experience in the FFA curriculum along with playing experience and the relevant coaching qualifications. There were 10 applicants in all with the most senior qualified coaches being selected. Coaching staff have been organised to ensure no club conflict with the zone they are coaching and no selector or coach has any children trying out in this age group. It is our intention to continue to scout for and develop coaches through these next step opportunities. Congratulations to all selected.
