But, the work continues for the Singleton Strikers Football Club as its governing body Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) has accepted the Strikers’ expression of interest to implement a Premier Club Skill Acquisition Program (SAP), starting with under-9s from 2018.
As one of three Hunter Valley clubs to be awarded the SAP program, the Singleton organisation is excited to be able to help nurture and develop the next generation of football superstars.
The initiative will underpin the premier club’s youth structure and develop players who have the technical ability to transition to the National Premier Leagues or game training phase of the Emerging Jets.
The SAP program will be coordinated with current first grade coach David Willoughby, who boasts extensive youth development experience having been the Hunter Valley Football Association technical director for many years.
He was also a NNSWF National Youth Championship mentor.
“The Strikers are extremely happy to be given the opportunity to implement the SAP in Singleton,” junior president Mark Henderson said.
“Planning is already underway for the implementation of the program.”
Trials for the under-9 SAP program will take place on Monday, November 20, Thursday, November 23, and Monday, November 27.
For further details or to register your interest in the trials, contact Strikers junior president Mark Henderson on 0417 445 233.
