Gippsland United FC are now accepting player Expressions of Interest for our Skills Acquisition Program (SAP) for 2025. Trials will commence in Late March/ early April, with the program set to commence soon after, and run for a period of 18 weeks (3 x 6-week cycles).
As a key aspect of Football Australia's National Curriculum, the implementation of SAP is to perfect and accelerate the skill development of players at the critical ages of 9-12. This is the age group universally acknowledged to be the optimal mental and physical phase that allows children to learn motor skills.
The program is offered to all boys & girls aged 9-12 years across the Gippsland region, with hubs in South Gippsland (Wonthaggi), East Gippsland (Sale/Bairnsdale), Central (Morwell) and West Gippsland (Trafalgar/Warragul). * Hubs will only be established depending on player numbers from each location.
The SAP operates under our Technical Director and delivered by like-minded coaches from Community Clubs.
