U16 Girls Aspirational / Development Team

PCFC is proud to present a new space within the club, after listening to feedback and working closely with like-minded professional clubs and NZ Sport we now recognize the need for options for players with aspirations for higher-level football. 
The PCFC Aspirational programme will be directed by Ravinesh Kumar, our new Director of Football, who holds an OFC/NZF A License and is also an OFC Coaching Instructor.
We will start our TRAINING/TALENT IDENTIFICATION process on Thursday 9th March for your player to be observed by our selected independent coaches, at sessions designed by Coach Taelor Parker.
This phase will begin in accordance with NZF guidelines for Under 16 girls. Players identified by the coache/s will play in this PERFORMANCE LEVEL competition.
If your child is accepted the registration fee has been set at $495.00 which includes the following:

• An independent Coach with or working towards national coaching credentials
• Designated training space twice a week.
• Training sessions designed by coach Taelor and overseen by the DOF.
• Training Shirt 
• Training Ball 
• Training Bib
• Training Jacket  
• Subsidised access and endorsed entry to end-of-year tournaments and festivals 

The fee will cover NZF / NRF entry fees into competitive divisions and like all fees will contribute to the Club's ongoing overheads.
All PCFC players (along with Parents & Coaches) are expected to abide by the club Code of Conduct which will be part of a signed agreement for aspirational teams with player expectations clearly laid out.
We look forward to seeing you all, and IF children miss out, the club will ensure all members are treated equally and given equal opportunity to participate and further their football education.
Some of the girls have been at the trainings already - if your player hasn't been training yet - head on down!
Open Trainings are Tuesdays & Thursdays 6.45pm start to approx. 8pm.

As mentioned above selections will take place from Thursday 9th March.             

If you have any questions about the identification process, team selection, or how it all works please feel free to contact Ravi at dof@papakuracityfc.org.nz.
