2012 keeps getting hotter at Tuggies

PL Training and Trials

Our Premier League pre season trials continue to be a great success.  We have an unprecedented number of trialists attending, which means this year should be a massive one for Tuggies in the Premier League.  Our PL coaching team of Butler, Moutrey, Ruiz and Mitchell have been putting the boys through their paces, and will head into some trial matches over the next couple of weeks.  With such strong squads shaping up, there will inevitably be some that are not selected where they would like to be.  This is the difficult but unavoidable part of high performance programs.  Our coaches and committees will be working hard to let players know what their other options are should they not be selected.

Although we have had a high level of talent attending pre season, there are still opportunities for youngsters looking for a club to begin their PL careers.  14 to 17 years old are welcome to join our trainings and show what they've got.  Tuggeranong United is the perfect place to begin your football career, with quality coaches and a genuine development culture.  Our PL18s and PL16s are our first graders of tomorrow.  Many clubs claim that but not many back it up.

Craig Foster talks pre season

Have a read of this article on modern coaching methods and the FFA national curriculum by Craig Foster.  Players will notice that this is exactly the training that they are being put through by the Tuggies coaching staff.

State League Training Begins

Tuesday February 14 is the night that State League training begins at Wanniassa.  From 6:30pm at Wanniasssa 1 (off Sternberg) will see our largest program begin for the year.  Steve Diggle and his team will be working hard to organise all our players into team squads, so please help them by attending training, letting them know of your intentions and talking to your team manager from last year.  We were runners up in the State League Club Championship in 2011, so with a bit of luck and a bit less drinking we could knock ANU FC off top spot!
