2017 Competitions
Football NSW is committed to the continued improvement of competition management, establishing best practice platforms from which the Clubs can operate their business of providing development and performance opportunities for the State’s talented players.
Participation in Football NSW competitions is contingent upon Clubs continued commitment to the National and State football framework.
We remind all successful applicants of their responsibility to adhere to the terms and conditions of the Participation Agreement, FFA and FNSW rules and regulations whilst participating in our competitions and programs. For clarity, entry into, and continued participation in, Football NSW Competitions, the WFFA Cup and the PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues Finals Series is contingent upon ongoing compliance with the Participation Agreement.
We also take this opportunity to remind Clubs of their responsibility to meet the commercial and financial obligations of participation in Football NSW competitions. Any financial default will be dealt with in accordance with the Football NSW By-Laws and the Football NSW Grievance & Disciplinary Regulations, and may result in the loss of competition points, the forfeiting of matches, the imposition of fines and/or other sanctions.
The board of Football NSW will meet again on Thursday 22 September to discuss and resolve the Skill Acquisition Program and Youth Competitions structures for the 2017 season.
The Board noted the need for improving the current policy setting and the rigor of the application process, and resolved to review and set new policy and process in consultation with stakeholders by January 2017.
We extend our thanks to the Clubs for their efforts in embracing the National and State objectives, and look forward to working together to see our common goals achieved in 2017 and beyond.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the important role Football Clubs, Associations and Regional Branches play in providing development opportunities for the State’s talented players. There is a great deal of work undertaken to document and provide these opportunities, for which Football NSW is extremely grateful.
