Capital Football is excited to announce new staff arrivals as well as some changes to the current roles and responsibilities at the organisation.

We were delighted to announce the arrival of Sarah Gregorius just prior to Christmas, who has joined us as Federation Development Officer (Western/Kapiti) replacing Sam Blackburn. In addition to Sarah joining we are equally pleased to welcome Blair Duncan who joins us in a Junior Operations role. Blair joins us from Victoria University where he fulfilled a number of roles, most recently Recreation Advisor. Blair is a huge football fan and is looking forward to working in an area which is a great passion.

In addition to the new members of staff, our Futsal Development Officer Todd Bryant has accepted a promotion within the organisation as Assistant Federation Development Manager and Jake Piper has accepted a full-time role as Federation Development Officer focusing on Senior and Futsal Operations and administration of the new Comet system. Todd will be continuing his fantastic work leading the development of futsal for the region with his new title. We hope you will join us in offering our congratulations to Todd and Jake.

As Capital Football continues to evolve we have updated our Development Officers titles to reflect that they encompass more than just football. “Federation” has therefore replaced “Football” in their job titles moving forward. We would also like to continue improving our support to clubs and there have been some very slight changes in which officers support which clubs, this is detailed below.

Federation Development Officers will be in touch directly with each of the respective clubs who they look after shortly. Our staff are looking forward to working with all of our clubs again in 2018.
