Next Phase of Development Programs Ready to Go for U6 to U8's ...

Starting This Week - Register Now - Limited Places

Commencing this Saturday, 6th March in two venues, the FFSW, in conjunction with Technical Director, Paul Wozny, have established a Football Development Program to develop and deliver a specialist coaching unit to provide sound technical foundations for male and female players between the ages of 5 and 17 years old.  This has been developed as an individual based squad program and is independent from any Club involvement.  Players simply receive ‘extra’ coaching to supplement Club training and this has been introduced to replace the Football West Academy in the South West Region.

We are now at the next phase of the Program and are excited to extend the age groups further to create an underpinning program for all interested players turning six to eight in 2010 (born 2002 to 2004)
