Northern NSW Football is delighted to announce that three of its clubs have been awarded two-star Club Changer accreditations.
Hunter Valley Football club Lochinvar Rovers were the first northern NSW club to complete the achievement, with Macquarie Football’s Valentine FC and Old Bar Barbarians from Football Mid North Coast also awarded two-star accreditation.
Club Changer is Football Australia’s club development program which aims to protect and enhance our clubs, make them stronger and more resilient, lead them in building welcoming and inclusive cultures and educate them on positive environments for players, coaches, volunteers and officials while planning for long term viability and success.
As clubs progress through the program they are awarded one, two or three stars. For each star award, benefits and incentives are unlocked for the club to utilise and further progress their capacity and capability.
NNSWF Club Support and Development Officer Brett Hodgekiss was thrilled to have three northern NSW clubs reach two-star accreditation.
“Club Changer is making a difference within NNSWF clubs. There are 109 clubs from across the region that are one-star accredited,” Hodgekiss said.
“There are many benefits for clubs to be part of the Club Changer program including being eligible for specific funding and opportunities through Football Australia as well as additional support and resources.
“Congratulations to Lochinvar, Valentine and Old Bar for reaching two-star accreditations which is a fantastic achievement.”
Clubs that progress to two-star accreditation and beyond have the opportunity to capitalise on relationships already established to create genuine change for clubs and the key people that manage them.
