Skill Training Certificate kicks off Female Football Week
Football NSW officially announced 2014 Female Football with the Skill Training Certificate that kicked off on a chilly Saturday morning as 13 participants gathered at Valentine Sports Park to complete part one of the course.
With the objective in increasing the number of accredited female coaches in NSW and assisting in the ongoing development of female footballers, highly qualified coach Sally Wolfison took charge on what was an insightful part one of the course.
Well known Australian female footballers Renee Rollason, Hayley Todd, Danielle Brogan and Alexandra Davis were heavily involved with the course with Part 2 taking shape this Saturday.
Rollason was delighted with the progress all participants experienced during the course and were all eagerly anticipating part two this weekend.
“All participants were excited and overwhelmed with the information they all received.
“I can tell you that they all cannot wait till this Saturday as they complete their Skill Training Certificate.
“It was a great way to kick off Female football week as we roll into more activities to take shape prior to Mother’s Day this Sunday.”
