ADP Success Story – Dion Spiliotopoulos

Dion is a 7-year-old girl who has a passion for playing football with her friends and dreams of one playing for the Matildas. She started playing at Eschol Park FC at the age of 5 and joined the Association Development Program (ADP) in 2021 and continued in 2022. In 2022 she also played in Eschol Park FC’s M-SAP U8 team. Dion has always been a talented player, but was looking for a program that could challenge her and help her reach her potential.

That’s when Dion’s parents found out about the ADP from Macarthur Football Association. The ADP is a 20-week program that provides boys and girls aged U5-U13 the opportunity to develop their technical skills in a program designed to help kids enjoy football and maximise their potential.

Dion joined the ADP and enrolled in the Monday evening session at Lynwood Park. There, she was excited to learn from the friendly and qualified coaches who made the training sessions fun and engaging. She developed her core skills such as dribbling, shooting, passing, and defending in a supportive training environment. She also participated in game nights where she could apply what she learned in real match situations.

Dion saw a significant improvement in her skills over the course of the program. She became more confident on the ball, more creative in her play, and more effective in her team. Dion also had lots of fun playing football and made new friends along the way. She even got noticed by the Macarthur rep teams and is now playing for the U10 Girls Skill Acquisition Program (GSAP) team for Macarthur Rams FC.

Dion is very happy with her progress and grateful for the ADP. Dion’s mum says: “The ADP has helped Dion take her football skills to the next level. She learnt so much from the coaches and the other players. They made Dion feel welcome and challenged her to do her  best. Dion is now even more confident and happy when she’s playing football with Macarthur Rams FC. I would recommend the ADP to anyone who’s child loves football and wants to improve their skills and have fun.”

The ADP is open for registration for 2023. If you want to follow Dion’s footsteps and join the program, click on the link below to register now!

“COACHING ALLOWS YOU TO EXPRESS YOUR LOVE FOR THE GAME” – CHANGING THE NARRATIVE OF FEMALE COACHES

We interviewed Illawarra Stingray’s Womens Reserve Grade Head Coach, Elyse Finlayson, and asked about her experiences in football. Her answers during our conversation are paraphrased in the article below.

 

Where does your passion for the sport come from?

 

Elyse’s introduction to football came at the age of 5. She wasn’t your typical ‘girly’ girl, and has her brother to thank for her tomboy personality.

 

Joining a team sport like football, she thrived in that environment from a very young age.

 

She loves the sense of community in the sport, the comradery of a team, and the learning environment that is achieved on a week to week basis.

 

What made you want to get involved in coaching? 

 

Elyse was playing for South Coast Taipans in the futsal league at the age of 16 when the Women’s Head Coach asked her if she wanted to step in and assist.

 

” I jumped at the opportunity with open arms. I love teaching and educating in general.”

 

Can you share your journey of how you got into coaching? 

 

She became a Head Coach of the U13s a year after being asked to assist the Womens Head Coach at Taipans. At the same time she was still playing outdoor football at a rep level, with the dream of becoming a professional football player.

 

Her 1st outdoor coaching role came at the age of 19 with the Illawarra Stingrays where she coached the U13s; and that’s when the journey really started to take off.

 

The following year SAP was introduced for girls football at the rep levels. She coached the U11s, and then the U15s the year after. During this, she was also helping out her cousin’s U6s teams at a local community club.

 

Recently, she had a stint with the girls U17s at Macarthur Rams and her current role is the Stingrays FNSW NPL Womens Reserve Grade Coach.

 

Being a Goalkeeper by trade, Elyse has also helped with Goalkeeper coaching here and there passing, on her knowledge from her years in representative level football.

Do you have any challenge/s that come to mind when you have been coaching? 

 

“The biggest challenge has been the criticism received that’s inevitable. This challenges your self belief, your ability and your football philosophy. Having a strong character is very important.”

 

The support system for female coaches was non-existent when Elyse started out as a young coach. She had to persevere and believe in her own ability, which has been her biggest strength.

 

“I had a lot of older coaches, who gave me tough love. I took it within my stride and just got on with it!”

 

She took her experiences as a player and from her own coaches into her own style of coaching.

 

Elyse has found that, with developments coming from Football NSW and other governing bodies, there is a growing network of female coaches forming in communities. The FNSW Female Coaches Network is a very inclusive and collaborative environment; it’s not about where you coach, but about collaborating with others, sharing experiences and giving everyone a chance to better themselves as a coach, and better the game in general.

 

Over the years, Elyse has had some amazing influences in her journey. They include Vannessa Mann (now coaching in the USA), Stephen Neligan (who is now in Denmark), Lisa Warrener and most recently Carmelina Moscato who came over from Canada to coach at Stingrays.

 

If you could speak to female coaches or those aspiring to be a coach what would be your one liner (punch line)?

Coaching will allow you to grow and develop personally more than anything you will ever do in your life and it allows you to express your love for the game in the best way possible.

 

 

As part of Coach Development initiatives in 2022, Macarthur Football Association is launching a Female Coach Development Program with the purpose of supporting current female coaches and encouraging aspiring female volunteers to coach within our local clubs.
The program will consist of a female coach’s support network, workshops, coaching courses, and resources that aim to cater to all coaches involved in the program, regardless of their coaching experience or commitment levels.
To join us in 2022, please fill in this survey: bit.ly/mfafemalecoaches

 

For more information about how you can be involved in coaching or coach education, contact the MFA Community Football Manager at Kevin@macarthurfootball.com.au
