Kahibah FC achieve five-star NCDP accreditation

Northern NSW Football is pleased to announce Kahibah FC has gained five-star accreditation in the National Club Development Program.

Kahibah FC are a large club, with 59 teams across premier and community football. The club is supported by a small group of dedicated committee members, who work tirelessly to ensure policies are in place and accessible to members as the club continues to grow.

Kahibah FC secretary Bridene Doherty said she was proud of her club’s achievements and excited about the opportunities for growth.

“As a club we are very proud of achieving a five-star NCDP accreditation,” Doherty said.

“We have implemented a hub for our under-6s and under-7s, providing a platform for these young footballers to build their love of the game within a fun and safe environment.

“Looking ahead we are working with Lake Macquarie City Council to develop the Harold Knight facility at Gateshead, which will introduce more playing fields and enable further club growth in 2023.

“Our club is also excited by the creation of the Premier Youth League in 2023 which will provide our youth teams with more competitive match opportunities.”

NNSWF Club Development Officer Phillip Andrews looked forward to seeing the club evolve.

“I wish Kahibah FC success in their journey to continue providing more positive football experiences to their members and evolving as a football club,” Andrews said.

“The NCDP is a fantastic tool for highlighting deficiencies and providing clubs with development resources which leads to the successful achievement of goals.”

The National Club Development Program continues to support structured positive change in clubs that engage with the program. It is available to all NNSWF-affiliated clubs.
