The Skills Centre is based on the NZ Football Development programme that has been specifically designed for the ‘future’ football player, following a lengthy review of best practices and latest research from around the world, to accelerate the skills of the ‘serious’ kiwi footballer and to fit our own unique culture.
The programme is under-pinned by NZ Football’s ‘Player Centered’ Coaching approach, which means every player will be treated as an individual and receive the best coaching available.
The Skills Centre programme complements ‘club’ practice and builds on the skills the players learn throughout the season. Boys and girls that attend the programme will learn the skills required to enjoy the game and achieve their goals.
The Elite Skills Academy is delivered by our club Director of Football Paul Richardson and is designed as part of Rovers pathway programme for our junior players as they prepare for Youth Football.
