“Southern Lakes United FC is doing a lot of things right,” Andrews said.
“The governance is strong with transparency of leadership and communication as clear strong points. Using TeamApp for communication to members has changed the way the club can get important current information to members.
“The club has implemented every recommendation made by NNSWF including running a Kick-On program that has reinvigorated interest in adult female football in the club.
“In term 4 2020, the club delivered a Kick-Off program to introduce young footballers to the game and was overwhelmed with more than 30 registrations.
“Southern Lakes United FC is a motivated contributor to the local community providing positive experiences for players and their families engaging with football in the local area. The club is pro-active in supporting coaches and developing young referees through a game leader program.
