2009 FFA National Youth Championships for Boys kicks off
The next generation of potential Qantas Socceroos will be on show in Coffs Harbour from this weekend at the 2009 FFA National Youth Championships for Boys.
The next generation of potential Qantas Socceroos will be on show in Coffs Harbour from this weekend at the 2009 FFA National Youth Championships for Boys.
There will be 384 players from the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales Country, New South Wales Metropolitan, Northern NSW, Northern Territory, Queensland Country, Queensland Metropolitan, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria Country, Victoria Metropolitan and Western Australia competing at the annual tournament at BCU International Stadium in Coffs Harbour.
FFA CEO Ben Buckley acknowledged the importance of these Championships in the FFA talent identification program.
“While the Championships are not the only means of being spotted as a player with potential, this tournament is traditionally an important component of our talent identification for young talented players.
“I am sure this year will be no different; and there will be players at these Championships who will go on to represent Australia with distinction all the way up to the Qantas Socceroos.
“High quality opposition helps us to improve our own standards, quality of play, coaching and facilities; and, as the quality of our national teams improves, the impact will be felt down the line to the grassroots players which gives us better standards of competition as well as a larger pool of potential players for the National Youth League, the Hyundai A-League and the national teams.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank our commercial partners Qantas, Foxtel, Nike, Westfield, Hyundai, SOLO, NAB, the Australian Sports Commission, FOX Sports and Optus for their support of this event and would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the Northern NSW Football Federation and Coffs Harbour Council for, once again, hosting the tournament," concluded Buckley.
In addition, The Zurich Referee Education Experience will once again occur which will provide a unique opportunity for two young referees to shadow the Hyundai A-League match officials during the Hyundai A-League 2010 Finals Series. The two young referees who have performed best and are appointed to the two finals of the 2009 FFA National Youth Championships for Boys on Saturday 10 October 2009 will each be awarded a Zurich Referee Education Experience.
The Zurich Referee Education Experience will offer the young referees the opportunity to observe the designated match officials as they prepare for, manage and report on a full match day during the Hyundai A-League 2010 Finals Series.
