Bringing the FFA Methodology to the Zebras
Building on our already successful SAP programme in 2015 and 2016 co-ordinated by NPL player and SAP co-ordinator Jayden Hey, along with our Technical Director Enzo Botte, our aim at Hobart Zebras FC is to create a streamlined approach in our coaching and development to complement our already strong junior offering in a National Premier League FFA Level 1 accredited club setting.
All of our coaches are accredited or are working towards FFA coaching accreditations in conjunction with Football Federation Tasmania and all coaches and volunteers have current working with children checks.
As a National Premier Leagues Club with also Ladies teams playing at the top level in the state, we offer the following 4 programs to align with the FFA Methodology and allow progression from beginner to progression to State and National Programs for both boys and girls, for those who are selected.
We offer this in a fun and relaxed environment in a club with a rich history of 60 years of football in Tasmania.
