Lane Cove FC & St. Michael’s FC Development Squad Trials for the 2020 Season

Does your child love playing football? Is she or he ready to develop greater football skills with other players of similar commitment?

The LCFC & St. Michael’s Development Squad is aimed at the more enthusiastic and focused Miniroos and Junior players, commencing at U8 through to the competition grades. The two clubs run a combined Development Squad for the stronger and more enthusiastic players who want to further develop their skills with other players of similar commitment.

*New for the 2020 Season*

Players aged U8-U11 (Mixed teams) will have the opportunity to be selected for Lane Cove FC’s Skills Acquisition teams who will participate in the new NSFA SAP League commencing in 2020. The SAP League has been designed by the Northern Suburbs Football Association (NSFA) and seeks to improve the development pathways for aspirational footballers.

In 2020, LCFC & St. Michael’s will field:

  • One Skills Acquisition League (NSFA SAP League) team in each age group U8-11
  • Development Squad mixed competition teams in the age groups U8-U13 (number of teams pending player interest and selection)
  • Girls teams an option, pending player interest and selection

Development Squad Overview

From February to August, the SAP & Development Squad teams train with dedicated professional coaches twice a week (Monday & Thursday evenings) at Blackman Park. The coaches also attend the Saturday games (for mixed teams) and Sunday NSFA competition games (for girls teams). We are pleased to continue our partnership with Soccer Kickstart as an integral part of our coaching team for SAP and Development Squad.

Fees for participation include coaching, training kit, grounds hire, and related costs. Players will also complete club registration with Lane Cove FC. Details regarding SAP / Development Squad fees will be provided at the trials.
