Our community spirit is the driving force behind our success.
That spirit was again fully on display this week with a an amazing surprise party in my honour that left me humbled and filled with emotions and gratitude.
Together, we are building a powerful environment and culture that will help nurture and drive our players football aspirations forward.
What we witness on Wednesday is what we get when well-meaning people get together to create positive sharing moments and emotions.
Thank you all once again!
The buildup to the season continued this week with Players putting in another solid week of training across all categories working on various development activities.
Monday’s weather prevented us from working with the Monday groups due to the extreme wet weather conditions. We look forward to returning next Monday.
Our position as one of the strongest Youth development clubs in the state means we have to bring a large number of enthusiastic young people together to give them the opportunity to develop a strong culture, love and passion for the game. This is an ongoing challenge and parents are a driving force behind that community mobilisation.
We are planning a number of friendly games and waiting for opposition teams to confirm. We will communicate with families once we have a confirmation.
See you on the field.
Cheers

Football Australia today unveiled a comprehensive post-tournament report on the Legacy ‘23 strategy, marking a significant milestone in the journey of Australian football.
The report calls for continued investment and support to build on the success and momentum of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023™ and further elevate Australia’s position on the global football arena.
The FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023™ marked a historic milestone by breaking even for the first time, with an economic impact of $1.32 billion in Australia. The event played a vital role in promoting physical activity and well-being across the nation.
This report demonstrates Football Australia’s strategic vision and commitment to drive a national set of benchmarks to deliver positive change and sustainable development, and investment to transform the legacy of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ into a sustainable foundation for football’s future in Australia.
James Johnson, CEO of Football Australia, emphasised the need for sustained momentum: “The FIFA Women’s World Cup was a testament to Australia’s capability to host globally significant tournaments. The sporting, economic and societal benefits which the tournament generated, not just to football, but to other sports as well as broader Australian society are now there for all to see in the post-tournament report,” Johnson stated.
