Skill Acquisition Program Gala Weekend
The second instalment of Football NSW’s successful Skill Acquisition Program (SAP) Gala Day this weekend as the official opening of Football NSW’s recently redeveloped Valentine Sports Park takes shape on Saturday.
Joining in on what will be a football festival for all 31 accredited FNSW SAP Licensees from across NSW for the second time this year, Football NSW’s headquarters will be a hive of activity.
SAP Clubs will have players from under 9’s, 10’s and 11’s playing at the newly redeveloped Valentine Sports Park in what is tipped to be a great spectacle for all players, coaches and parents involved after the success’ it had in its inaugural year in 2013.
Football NSW Technical Director Alex Tobin was looking forward to the two days after stating the March SAP Gala Day was a huge success.
“It was a fantastic way to kick off our SAP program for 2015 with the official opening of Valentine Sports Park which was well received by all.
“It was a great weekend of Football from all the SAP players, coaches and parents who thoroughly enjoyed the experience in a new and vastly improved facility.
“SAP is totally committed to a development focus and the creation of the best possible learning environment in youth Football.
“Gala days are a great opportunity for many to see the wide scope of teams and players from many areas of FNSW coming together to play.”
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.
