Have your say – upcoming forums
In addition to their ongoing efforts, the Women’s Football Steering Committee is excited to announce upcoming player forums, set to take place in the north, central, and south regions of the Central Coast.
These player forums aim to provide a platform for the entire Central Coast Football (CCF) community to voice their opinions and actively contribute to shaping the future direction of female football in the region.
Players, coaches, parents, and stakeholders from all corners of the community are invited to these forums to foster open and constructive dialogue, ensuring that the collective vision for female football reflects the needs and aspirations of everyone involved.
CCF & the steering committee believe that engaging the community is vital for creating a sustainable and inclusive environment where female football can thrive, and they eagerly anticipate the valuable insights and ideas that will emerge from these upcoming player forums.
