Skills Acquisition Program Gala Weekend
The inaugural Skills Acquisition Program (SAP) Gala Day will commence this Saturday 8th of June with participants from 26 accredited Football NSW SAP Licensees from across Sydney along with Capital Football taking part over the weekend.
SAP Clubs will have players from under 9’s, 10’s and 11’s playing at Football NSW headquarters in what is tipped to be a great spectacle for all players, coaches, referees and parents involved.
Football NSW Head of Football Phil Brown was excited with the SAP Gala Day’s prospects in what will be a fun filled and informative weekend of football.
“Football NSW welcomes the SAP teams to Valentine Sports Park for what will be an opportunity for all of the players and coaches in the program to come together, share and learn from their collective experience.
“The Gala Days supplement the best practice learning environment provided by the program licensees, and we look forward to a weekend of fun and football.”
SAP is the official Football NSW development program for players aged from U9s to U11s, with the Gala Day providing teams with the opportunity to play against others from outside their regular zones. It will also provide Football NSW with an additional opportunity to assess programs beyond those being assessed by the State Technical Director at regular match days.
Developed by the Football NSW Technical Department, SAP provides a structured best practice learning environment, consistent with the FFA National Curriculum, to support development of the State’s aspiring young footballers.
Throughout the Gala Day there will be entertainment for the family including Hyundai A-League players from Sydney FC and the Western Sydney Wanderers and a 7 News BBQ.
