Mark Cossey, director of Waikato Football Academy and Keith Fraser, Claudelands Youth Rep, put pen to paper to ensure a new level of Youth development is delivered at Claudelands Rovers in 2021.
The program is integrated into the Federation Youth aspect of football development. It focusses on both the team and the individual skills of players. The program will work by integrating individual development of players into a third training during the week. It is during this third training that players will experience different coaches and learning environments along with following NZF training concepts for the serious Kiwi footballer.
During January 2021, the Claudelands Rovers Youth Talent Program will announce coaches, host an Open Day and give details on Trial dates to be held for the Federation grade teams.

RECAP : Hamilton Tri-Sports camp
Three New Zealand sport coaches have come together to put on camp which give children a taste of three different sport codes at Hamilton Boys’ High school.

Academy coach to lead Claudelands
Former All White Mark Cossey is taking up his new venture as head coach of Claudelands Rovers Football Club and the Waikato Football Academy.

All the best to Dallyn Smith and Jack Marden who later this week will be heading to the UK with Football Fusion for a tailored tour where they play matches against some of England’s premier club academies.
