Sunshine Coast FC Senior Women players Samara Christmas, Sofie Persson and Danielle White have accepted invitations from Brisbane Roar Football Club to train and play with their NPL Senior Women’s Program for 6 weeks.
The girls will commence training with Brisbane Roar on Tuesday, 8 June 2015 and will play on selected Wednesday evenings for the team.
Sunshine Coast FC Technical Director of Coaching Melvyn Wilkes congratulated the girls on the invitation and knows they will do well.
Christmas, Persson and White make up a total of five players from Sunshine Coast FC who have been invited for development training in the last month.
Sunshine Coast FC Youth Women’s defender Holly Vidulich is currently in her second week of training with Brisbane Roar on a similar six-week program and Under 15 Girls’ midfielder Hannah Taylor has also been invited to train with the U15’s State team as a train-on player.
“Having five girls from our women’s section identified by the State coaches and coaches from Brisbane Roar is a testament to the hard work and dedication that the coaches have put in thus far this season,” said Wilkes.
“It is a credit to the club, which constantly supports and recognises the importance and value of having the girl’s and women’s section as an integral part of Sunshine Coast FC.”
“As Technical Director, there is nothing more satisfying than to see a player from our club striving and looking to push on, although it does come at a cost of being the victim of your own success. We wish Hannah Taylor, Holly Vidulich, Samara Christmas, Sophie Persson and Danielle White all the very best as they look to secure themselves a potential move on to bigger things.”
