FFA National Curriculum in commercial academies, development programs and clinics

Football Federation Australia?s National Technical Director Han Berger issued this following statement.
?It has come to the attention of Football Federation Australia that several Member Federations and Hyundai A-League Clubs are conducting a number of elite academies, development programs and coaching clinics.
?Some of these academies, programs and clinics mention that the content will follow the FFA National Curriculum.
?We would like to bring to your attention that you can only refer to the Curriculum if the content of the programs as well as the coaching staff involved have been approved by the FFA technical department.
?Furthermore it’s the intention of the FFA (as mentioned in the Curriculum) to ensure that programs are accessible to all players and cost is not a barrier to children receiving coaching.
?Therefore FFA wants any reference to the FFA National Curriculum to be removed or not included in announcements and/or advertisements of commercial academies, development programs and coaching clinics.
?For any elite academies, development programs and coaching clinics that are conducted free of charge for the participant and of which the technical content as well as the coaching staff have been approved by the FFA technical department, you may promote that you do follow the FFA National Curriculum.
?I would appreciate if you could forward this to your relevant Football Development staff for action immediately,? Berger ended.
