Setting the standard for 2027: Club Changer

Setting the standard for 2027: Club Changer November workshops

Capital Football is excited to present Setting the standard for 2027: Club Changer November workshops, bringing our affiliated clubs together for two end-of-year sessions, one northside and one southside.

Club Changer is Football Australia’s Club Development Program, delivered by Capital Football to clubs across our region. It supports our clubs to become stronger, more sustainable and more welcoming places for players, coaches, volunteers and officials.

Through practical planning, education and recognition, we work alongside clubs to build inclusive cultures and set them up for long-term success.

Setting the standard for 2027: Club Changer November workshops

• Northside: Monday 23 November, 6–7:30 pm, Radford College, Bruce
• Southside: Wednesday 25 November, 6–7:30 pm, Marist College, Pearce

Registrations are open until Sunday 22 November, 6 pm.

Who should attend

Attendance is mandatory for all Capital Football affiliated clubs. Each club must send 2 representatives, with committee members preferred. Your representatives can attend different sessions, so choose whichever date suits each person best.

Your presenters

Tim Arnold

Tim is a Director at Bardach Consulting and has been supporting Capital Football with the development and implementation of its new Behaviour Standards.

Tim brings experience working across the sports sector (Swimming Australia, Touch Football Australia and the Australian Sports Commission), alongside broader consulting experience in strategy and operational improvement.

He has supported government, sporting and not-for-profit organisations to develop practical strategies, strengthen operations and deliver programs.

Abigail Moss

Abigail joined Capital Football in February 2025 as a Competitions Administrator, where she managed the Skill Acquisition Program (SAP), the Federation Cup and the Australia Cup, as well as International Transfer Certificates and player cards.

In mid-2026, Abigail moved into the role of Participation Coordinator, taking responsibility for the Club Changer program. Since then, she has welcomed many clubs into the program for the first time, and helped others return to active involvement after a long break. Several of these clubs have gone on to earn national recognition through Football Australia’s monthly Club Changer awards.

Abigail’s goal is to bring as many clubs as possible into Club Changer, helping them build sustainable, long-lasting clubs with strong strategies for player retention and progression.

Setting the Standard for 2027: Club Changer November Workshops runs on Monday 23 November (northside) and Wednesday 25 November (southside), 6–7:30pm. Both sessions cover the same content, so choose whichever date suits you.

Registrations close Sunday 22 November at 6 pm. Don’t miss out, register your 2 club representatives today.
