Dear Tigers,
As per NSW Government and Football NSW directive, all football activity will be suspended until 11:59pm Friday 9th July.
Please see below for what this means to you.
This lockdown period will feel unusual compared to the pre-season lockdown we had in 2020, with our return to the field scheduled in just under two weeks. We have every intention to resume competition matches on Saturday 10th July and therefore need the cooperation of our football community to remain fit, healthy and engaged with their team. We will support you in this by providing individual training programs during the week.
Whilst in isolation and away from work and school, I encourage you to communicate with your teammates and football friends. We are all in the same boat. Whilst we have encountered a lifestyle situation such as this before, it is vital to call each other, host a video call and ensure that all members of our community know that they belong. You are part of a Club, we are part of NSFA and together we make an extremely proud and strong football community. Together we are stronger.
All the best,
Edward Ferguson
NSFA CEO

Team Meetings
During lockdown, in a similar fashion to 2020, we will conduct a few team meetings.
Please be on the look out for communication from your team manager & coach for these.
Keeping the kids busy
Last year XLR8 designed a whole range of activities to keep our players engaged, challenged and enjoying their football whilst in the restraint of their own home.
We welcome Clubs and players to bring this back, sharing the videos and challenging yourself to a new test each day.
XLR8 will be posting one video per day, with some live sessions sprinkled amongst them!
