St George Football Association

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—I congratulate the St George Football Association on all their fantastic work in promoting sport in the local area. The St George Football Association is the governing body for football in the St George area, and manages 23 clubs and over 10,000 players, volunteers, coaches and referees. The Club network is expansive and spans from Arncliffe in the north, Dolls Point in the South, and Peakhurst in the West. The teams are diverse, and cater to those of varying age and playing ability. As well as overseeing competitive games, the Club facilitates a number of training programs for players who want to develop their football ability and master core skills. Additionally, the Club actively recognises exceptional players and runs dedicated programs to further cultivate their talent. I would like to acknowledge the Association's CEO, Craig Kiely, for his outstanding leadership. Craig has been a huge advocate for boosting the uptake of sport in the local area. I would like to congratulate the St George Football Association for their success and I look forward to continuing to support their growth in the coming years.
