Talent Development Programme (TDP)

** PCFC is applying for provisional TDP status for 2025 meaning we are working towards full accreditation for 2026 season

The Talent Development Programme (TDP) is a programme overseen by NZ Football and
administered by the Northern Region Federation that enforces criteria for the youth grades of
competition (U13-U17). The intent of TDP is to raise the level of delivery by the clubs and
subsequently improve the quality of New Zealand’s youth players. Only clubs that are TDP
accredited are able to play in the highest level of competition in their respective grades. To attain
accreditation, clubs must meet a set of criteria covering such things as coach qualifications, training
sessions per week, match filming, access to goalkeeper coaching, facilities etc.
