Club Capability Building Workshop Kicks Off the 2026 Season
The Football NSW Club Technical Development Team delivered the first Club Capability Building Workshop of the new season on 1 December 2025.
The session opened with a presentation on compliance clarity from Stephen Bott and Will Tan, setting the tone for a day focused on shared learning and practical development.
Attendees then split into two breakout workshops. Joe Fox led an engaging session on Coaching Methodology and Coach Development Planning, while Stephen Bott facilitated Designing a Powerful Annual Planning Framework for Youth Football.
