2024 Season Information

Our club vision has always been to provide opportunities for players, coaches, and club members to succeed in gaining football knowledge and skills, inspiring them to participate in and enjoy the world game. The programme provides for those who are seeking extra challenges.

In 2023 we will be enhancing this by developing and progressing our young players to advance their skills, playing ability, and confidence, through the adoption of a development pathway. The aim of this pathway is to nurture the current abilities of our players and give them the opportunity to be part of a long-term programme focusing on our club values and philosophies, education, and of course football training.

Taught at an age-appropriate level, (from 9th Grade), this programme will unlock a player’s higher potential as they advance through the grades towards Youth Football selection. This programme is dedicated to keeping our players involved and enthusiastic. Most importantly we will be implementing good basic habits from a young age. These will be addressed by training twice weekly (with a game day on Saturday) with a dedicated Coach (delivered by our Director of Football, Cvetan Ivanov – Tsetso, UEFA “A” & OFC “A” licensed coach).

Open training and Team allocation sessions will happen between the 13th & 17th of March; with training for the winter season commencing from the 20th of March 2023.

For those players (9th – 12th Grade) who wish to continue playing for FUN with their friends, we will continue the current club pathway with opportunities for them to train with development players.

If you’d like more information, please contact Tsetso on +64 21 202 1082 or email dof@fctwenty11.co.nz.
