Dear Player,

On behalf of the Macarthur Football Association the Macarthur Rams and the Macarthur Rams Women we would like to invite you to a Football Festival to be held at Lynwood Park Rangers Road St Helens Pk. These events are opportunities for the young players from our Community clubs to experience playing on the brand new synthetic playing surface with players from other clubs. It also provides a chance for our talent scouts to see all the players in the one place to assess their ability and identify where the players are at in terms of their development. Following the festivals we have excellent opportunities for the young players to develop their ability at all levels through our new club based programs which will be launched soon. Players can develop their talent in a twenty (20) week program at their local club which is designed to provide extra training locally in order to assist the players’ talent potential and / or for those who simply wish to improve their technical skills through extra training. Some players will also be selected from the Festivals to attend the Macarthur Pathway Training with SAP squads which leads into trials later in the year and possible section into higher level football.
