Football NSW Special Needs Football Forum & Coaching Presentation

This is a great opportunity for clubs and associations to find out more about how to run special needs programs and coaching special needs players.
As you will see from the Agenda, this Forum features a Coaching presentation and practical coaching field session so we also invite any coaches of special needs players to attend as the information and field session will really help them in their coaching role.
