Country areas proudly host Football NSW 2009 State Titles
The Under 11 State Titles will be held at Proctor Park in Bathurst, while the Under 14 State Titles will be held at Rawlings Park in Wagga Wagga. The Under 15 State Titles will be played at Jack Brabham Park in Orange and the Under 16 State Titles will be at South Nowra SF in Nowra.
These Titles are an integral part of the pathway to elite football and possible ultimate State Team selection and as such, the cream of the youth players in this State turns up to be counted. The Titles are overseen by the High Performance Unit coaches and in fact, this year the Metropolitan Far North Region is being administered by the HPU on behalf of the Central Coast and Ku Ring Gai Associations.
The Metropolitan Area of Sydney is divided into six regions and the three Country Branches make up the nine regions which ensures a very competitive week of football, particularly as the Country lads have their own competition within the major competition to decide the premier Country Branch.
An added attraction this year will see the Country U/13 Boys team participate in the Under 14 Boys Titles, while the Country Under 14 Women?s team will join the Under 11 Boys Titles. Further, in an attempt to provide more opportunities for the Australian Deaf Football Under 20 team they have been invited to mix it with the Under 16 Boys Titles.
The referees have been provided from both the Metropolitan and Country Branches and these Titles are also an ideal opportunity for these very talented match officials to be recognized for further advancement.
The Titles too are an opportunity for the Coaches of the individual squads to be recognized with a view to being given the chance to coach at State Level.
The full draw for all four State Titles can be viewed on this website under Competitions > Tournaments > NSW State Titles.
The 12 Boys (Mudgee), 13 Boys (Shoalhaven) and 12-14-16 Women?s (Dubbo) State Titles will be held from the 12th ? 16th October 2009.
