We hope you are as excited as we are to get started! 2018 has been another record-breaking year for DFS with over 6,500 players and 600 junior coaches, from 175 local clubs and 13 community leagues, participating in our development programs. We are proud to have partnered with the North Melbourne FC for the past 2 years, during which we were recognised as the benchmark in delivering the AFL’s Next Generation Academy. This year also saw two of the leading community junior football leagues, partner with us as their exclusive football development provider. We enter our second year as football programs provider with the South Metro JFL and commence our football development partnership with the Yarra Junior Football League. For the 4th consecutive year, our Elite Camps were held. Players represented Victoria against Western Australian representative team Peel Thunder, in an incredibly special opportunity for all involved. Our MasterClass Series was continued across Victoria. This very popular elite program has attracted over 3,700 junior players from over 11 leagues throughout metro and regional Victoria. We are also proud of partnering with 30 local clubs, across Victoria. These relationships allow for us to develop club players and the coaches. A special thank you to all the parents, guardians and families who have allowed these players to take part in the 2018 Elite STP. To all the participating players: Seek improvement and have fun. ‘Be better everyday’ P a g e | 4 KEY INFORMATION www.dynamicfootyskills.com.au www.facebook.com/DynamicFootySkills @DFS_Coaching @dynamicfootyskills [email protected] 21 Northern Road, West Heidelberg. 3081 P a g e | 5 KEY CONTACTS Director of Operations Simon Corlett [email protected] 0404 995 096 Development Officer Beau Dorian [email protected] 0424 902 544 Director of Coaching Adrian Talarico [email protected] Michael Talbot [email protected] Media Officer Rahul Advani [email protected] P a g e | 6 ‘MYDFS MEMBER PAGE’ Your ‘MYDFS’ member page is the PRIMARY SOURCE of information for Elite STP players and families.

If possible, keep your nickname to approximately 8 letters or less. 300 TOUCHES The work you do away from the training track is just as important as the training itself. At every level of the game, the truly great players are always the ones who work harder than anyone else. They train away from training, they train in their backyard, in the local park, at school, and even during the ads of their favourite TV show. Great players always have a footy in their hands. This is where the DFS ‘300 touches’ comes into play. Between now and your first training session, we encourage you to do your 300 touches EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Log into your ‘MyDFS’ page for full details on 300 touches, which includes a video for you to watch and learn from.
