GIRLS SKILLS ACQUISITION PROGRAM

Girls Only Development Programs

FSC is taking the lead in football development for the growing number of young girls playing the game and is introducing programs as part of a Girls Development Pathway.

There are currently 2700 female players in FSC registered competitions, with over 2000 female junior players. 

To encourage participation and development FSC is very proud to announce some exciting new initiatives focussing on development specifically for our younger female participants.

The programs have been endorsed by Alen Stajcic the newly appointed Matilda’s coach.  Glenn Fontana the FSC Technical Director has initiated the programs to encourage further participation and to cater for the growing interest of females playing the game.   

“This is an exciting period for football and the growth of females in the sport.  We at FSC are always looking at ways to encourage participation in women’s sport and cater for all players no matter what level they aspire to play” Fontana said.  

The program will be overseen by Glenn and FSC highly qualified coaching staff.

The Girls Development Pathway  is broken into 2 components:

  • U9/U10 and U11/U12 – Girls Skills Acquisition Program This is based on the FNSW skill acquisition principals and is consistent with the FFA National Curriculum and is run over 30 training sessions.
  • U13 to U15 Girls Skills Aquisition Program (Born 2002, 2001 & 2000) (old GAP program)– This is a program run over 35 training sessions and is open to all players.  It will be based on the National Curriculum around the Game Training Phase preparing players with functional game skills and developing tactical awareness.
