Capital Football are implementing a new 'Whole of Football' Plan for the 2012 season. A flyer especially for parents is attached below. Further information can be found on its website where detailed information is provided on the different stages and implementation. A brief overview can be found in the presentation attached below. Capital Football's website states: Football in New Zealand is perfectly placed to capitalise on some golden opportunities. With international success, a higher profile and greater financial stability, we now have the chance to implement a national development structure to benefit participants at all levels. It involves everyone in the game working together, which is why it’s called the Whole of Football Plan (WOFP). This master plan aligns all our development programmes to provide a unified pathway into the game and deliver a consistent experience to all participants. It’s not just about players – it also involves the ongoing development of coaches, referees and administrators. The plan will be delivered in three stages, starting with Junior development and moving into Youth and finally Senior development. This is not just a programme for elite talent (although it will certainly help outstanding players make the most of their abilities). Our goal is for everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or ability to enjoy a high quality football experience that’s tailored to their particular needs.
