Nominations open for Junior Force Coaches

NOMINATIONS are now open for coaches wishing to be involved in the North Coast Force Junior representative program for 2026.

The focus of the Force rep program will be on the development of the individual players, rather than team performance.

This year the junior representative teams will be playing in the Northern NSW Championships to be held at Coffs Harbour from Wednesday 15 July to Friday 17 July.

Age groups for both boys and girls will be Under 13 (born 2013 and 2014), Under 15 (born 2011 and 2012), and Under 17 (born 2009 and 2010).

Each team will have a Coach and at least one Assistant Coach appointed, with all coaches required to hold a minimum of a current Registered coaching accreditation (preferably higher) as well as a current Working With Children Check (WWCC).

Each team will also have a Manager who should have experience in a similar role and will ideally hold a current First Aid accreditation (or similar).

Being a part of the Force program is a great opportunity for local coaches to build their knowledge and skill set for the benefit of all teams they coach. Force coaches will have access to professional development opportunities, guidance, and technical advice from Sydney Swans Academy personnel.

Prospective coaches and managers will need to be able to commit to the open selection trials for the 2026 program on Sunday 22 March and Sunday 29 March.
